Written with poise and pin-sharp perception, John O’Donoghue’s often humorous account of the breakdowns that have punctuated his life since the age of sixteen is as inspiring as it is insightful. Now a lecturer in creative writing, but having spent over a decade moving in and out of asylums, halfway houses, homeless hostels, squats and living on the streets, this is an unforgettable tale of survival against the odds.
