Description
Toy Fights: A Boyhood is a memoir that explores the tumultuous first twenty years of Don Paterson's life, from his childhood on a council estate to his struggles with identity and addiction.
Paterson's story is one of contradictions - a boy who was both fiercely competitive and desperate to avoid conflict, who found solace in music and origami, but also struggled with obsessive thoughts and desires.
This unflinching and often humorous account of growing up is a powerful exploration of the complexities of adolescence and the search for self.
