‘Stuart does not like the manuscript. He’s after a bestseller, “like what Tom Clancy writes”. “But you are not an assassin trying to frazzle the president with anthrax bombs,” I point out. You are an ex-homeless, ex-junkie psychopath, I do not add.’
This is the story of 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 homeless, knife-wielding thief. Told backwards — Stuart’s idea — it starts with a deeply troubled thirty-two-year-old and ends with a ‘happy-go-lucky little boy’ of twelve. This brilliant biography, winner of the Guardian First Book Award, presents a humbling portrait of homeless life, and is as extraordinary and unexpected as the man it describes.

    all the people we used to take the piss out of for being nobs and cunts and arse-lickers, the truth of it is, most of them now have got really nice houses, driving really nice cars, and here we are still sitting in a pub being angry and bitter about the class war. Who’s ended up losing out?

    Technically, joyriding does not involve stealing a car, because the person who takes the vehicle doesn’t intend to keep it

    During the three years I have known Stuart, my income has rarely exceeded his from the state.
