Acclaimed by critics and readers: after "Lies About My Father," the second volume of Burnside's autobiographical seriesAfter years of resolving never to become like his father, John Burnside must admit to himself that he has taken the same path as the man he deeply despises: Drugs, alcohol, and a refusal to accept responsibility have brought him to the brink of madness. Having reached the bottom, he decides to fight again for a life truly worthy of the name. He wants to become like everyone else. John Burnside tells of the difficult journey of reconciling with his inner demons - radically honest and utterly moving. "I believe that John Burnside is indeed the greatest writer of our day." Matthias Brandt (in "The Literary Quartet").
