Could it be? Have I found a book that had me caught in ecstasy by the first sentences? I mean, really... I expected quite a bit of Sebastian Horsley’s unauthorized autobiography Dandy in the Underworld but seems to have left out the fact that even I can be surprised once in a while.
Who wouldn’t love a book starting as follows:
“When Mother found out she was pregnant with me she took an overdose. Father gave her the pills. She needed a drama from time to time to remind her that she was still alive. The overdose didn’t work. Had she known I would turn out like this she would have taken cyanide.”
What knowledge of the own person! What deep cynicism. How intreaging.
To be continued...
