Description
The Upside tells the extraordinary true story of Driss, a charming Algerian con-man who inspired the record-breaking hit film "The Intouchables". With a voice that is both idiosyncratic and candidly charming, Sellou recounts his life from childhood to his unexpected employment as a companion for a quadriplegic.
From stealing candy from local grocery stores to his career as a pickpocket and scam artist, Sellou's story takes us on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. With humor, style, and a sense of humility that he denies, Sellou shares the real man behind the film's iconic character.
With a preface from Philippe Pozzo di Borgo, this memoir offers a unique glimpse into the life of someone who has evaded or shrugged off questions about his past until now. A candid and engaging read, The Upside is a story that will leave you wanting to know more about this remarkable individual.
