An account – an autobiography of sorts – from the Scottish poet and writer, Don Paterson, winner of the Forward Poetry Prize, the T S Eliot Prize and recipient of the Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry in 2009. Paterson grew up poor, on a council housing estate in Dundee: when he wasn’t dreading his birthdays or dodging kids who wanted to kill him in a game of Toy Fights, he was laving in love, dodging employment and descending into madness. He didn’t exactly find himself until he took a chance and boarded a train, with his guitar, bound for London. A brutal and hilarious autobiography.
