Like everyone else, I know Alan Davies as a comedian and actor, the perennial naughty boy in class on QI making Sandi or Stephen laugh. So reading this book was a bit of a shock.
Right up front I'll tell you the book is largely concerned with three things: the lasting grief of his mother's death when Alan was only 6; the physical, sexual and emotional abuse he experienced at his father's hands; and how those things had an impact on his whole life.
I was so very impressed with how frank and open Alan was in this book, how grief-stricken and raw he still is how willing to examine misogyny and homophobia in his early life. He looks back at these events from childhood as a grown man with children, with compassion for his younger self, with a sharp, clear eye.
