About this product
Product Information
This is a highly original and captivating memoir which has captured the hearts of readers everywhere. Stuart, A Life Backwards , is the story of a remarkable friendship between a reclusive writer and illustrator ('a middle class scum ponce, if you want to be honest about it, Alexander) and a chaotic, knife-wielding beggar whom he gets to know during a campaign to release two charity workers from prison. Interwoven into this, is Stuart's confession: the story of his life, told backwards. With humour, compassion (and exasperation) Masters slowly works back through post-office heists, prison riots and the exact day Stuart discovered violence, to unfold the reasons why he changed from a happy-go-lucky little boy into a polydrug-addicted-alcoholic Jekyll and Hyde personality, with a fondness for what he called 'little strips of silver' (knives to you and me). Funny, despairing, brilliantly written and full of surprises: this is the most original and moving biography of recent years.Product Identifiers

Great book.
This is a wonderful, thought-provoking read. I could go on forever about what Stuart and others endured (and still are) and the great quality of the writing. However, I will simply say this - see for yourself!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
