The infamous international bestseller · John Murray paperback
James wakes up on a plane with no front teeth, a broken nose and a hole in his cheek. He has no wallet and no memory of the last two weeks. When he checks into a rehabilitation centre shortly after landing, the doctors are surprised he is still alive. He is twenty-three.
After a decade of drinking and drug use, James has pushed his body and mind to breaking point. What follows is his fight, week by week inside the clinic, to decide what future — if any — he has left, and whether he can get there on his own terms.
Written in Frey's relentless, unpunctuated, run-on style, it is at once charming and appalling, searing and darkly funny. The Observer called it utterly compulsive; Irvine Welsh called Frey a natural novelist to his fingertips.
