Inhaltsangabe
The winner of the Guardian First Book Award that reinvented the biographic form.
One of the ten books – novels, memoirs and one very unusual biography – that make up our Matchbook Classics’ series, a stunningly redesigned collection of some of the best loved titles on our backlist.
Stuart: A Life Backwards expanded the possibilities of what a biography could be: the stories it could tell, and how it could tell them. It is about a remarkable friendship between a reclusive writer (‘a middle-class scum ponce, if you want to be honest about it, Alexander’), and Stuart Shorter, a thief, hostage-taker, psycho and street raconteur.
Told backwards – Stuart’s idea – it starts with a deeply troubled thirty-two-year-old stepping out in front of the 11.15 train from London to King’s Lynn, and ends with a ‘happy-go-lucky little boy’ of twelve. Compelling, humane and funny, it is as extraordinary and unexpected as the life it describes.

Anbieter: Postscript Books, Newton Abbot, DEVON, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. A chaotic ex-rough sleeper and ex-prisoner, Stuart Shorter dismissed Masters's first draft of his biography as 'boring' and urged him to 'Make it more like a murder mystery. What murdered the boy I was? See? Write it backwards.' The resulting award-winning story, both funny and tragic, reveals a life lived among the 'underclass', told in reverse from his sudden death to a brawling 10-year old. Strong themes and language.
