Críticas:
'The onset of his Tourette's syndrome is described with an unflinching, humorous honesty' (Sunday Telegraph)

Touching, humorous and intimate, Life, Interrupted is the astonishing story of one man's journey to self-acceptance (In Dublin)

James McConnel... a very funny, honest and brave writer who has written a singularly brilliant book (Robert Gwyn Palmer, Grove magazine)

'Amusing and touching' (The Herald)
Reseña del editor:

James McConnel always felt like a 'nearly' person. Alienated and bullied at school, playing music was the only time James felt in control. But as his piano playing skills developed, so did a bewildering array of strange compulsions. Initially the jerking, coughing, grunting, repeating, tapping, sniffing and counting, was dismissed as a 'funny little habit'. But it was clearly much more than that.


Growing up, he had dreams of becoming a concert pianist, and he secured a place at the Royal College of Music. But the bittersweet discovery that drinking temporarily stopped his twitches saw him slip into alcoholism. Aged thirty-two, James was finally diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome and, at long last, he began to understand himself. He still has tics and obsessive routines but his attitude to these has altered dramatically. He is happy.


Touching, humorous and intimate, LIFE, INTERRUPTED is the astonishing story of one man's journey to self-acceptance.
