Buchbeschreibung Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'In this book Alan Davies explores the complexity of events in his childhood whilst maintaining his trademark sardonic humour, warmth and intelligence. It's very, very sad at times, but a fascinating look at how childhood tragedy and trauma were treated in that era and how, leavened with humour, one individual/stand-up comic tries to make his way from the dark to the light' Jo BrandFrom sibling dynamics, to his voiceless, misunderstood progression through school, sexuality and humiliating 'accidents', Alan Davies inhabits his younger mind with spectacular accuracy, sharply evoking an era when Green Shield Stamps, Bob-a-Job week and Whizzer & Chips loomed large, a bus fare was 2p - and children had little power in the face of adult motivation. Here, there are often exquisitely tender recollections of the mother he lost at six years old, of a bereaved family struggling to find its way, and the kicks and confusion of adolescence.Through even the joyous and innocent memories, the pain of Davies's lifelong grief and profound betrayal is unfiltered, searing and beautifully articulated. Just Ignore Him is not only an autobiography, it is a testament to a survivor's resilience and courage.'The book is written extremely well . . . There have always been many reasons to admire Alan Davies. Now we can add extraordinary courage' Charlotte Heathcote, Mirror 272 pp. Englisch. Artikel-Nr. 9780349144368
