Book description
Kept in a bird-coop by his parents, Sunny McCreary endured a childhood
of neglect, abuse and being bullied by pigeons, only to find it was all
downhill from there. In the course of the most painful life ever, he
survived tragedy and maiming, a savage convent school education, being
pimped out in pink-satin hot pants, a degrading addiction to helium, and
having a baboon's arse grafted onto his face. Then things got really
bad. More horrible than A Child Called It, more heartrending than Ugly,
more repulsive than the Alastair Campbell diaries, My Godawful Life is
the misery memoir to end all misery memoirs and the feel-bad book of the
year. "At last, a book to satirise the endless parade of misery
memoirs. I seized upon this like manna from Heaven ... A glorious
overload of dysfunction." Sue Baker, Publishing News
