Stuart: A Life Backwards – Alexander Masters (Old/Bargain)|A highly original and captivating memoir which has captured the hearts of readers everywhere.

?Stuart, A Life Backwards?, is the story of a remarkable friendship between a reclusive writer and illustrator (?a middle class scum ponce, if you want to be honest about it, Alexander) and a chaotic, knife-wielding beggar whom he gets to know during a campaign to release two charity workers from prison.

Interwoven into this is Stuart?s confession: the story of his life, told backwards. With humour, compassion (and exasperation) Masters slowly works back through post-office heists, prison riots and the exact day Stuart discovered violence, to unfold the reasons why he changed from a happy-go-lucky little boy into a polydrug-addicted-alcoholic Jekyll and Hyde personality, with a fondness for what he called ?little strips of silver? (knives to you and me).

Funny, despairing, brilliantly written and full of surprises: this is the most original and moving biogrpahy of recent years.
