In this extraordinary book, Alexander Masters has created a moving
portrait of a troubled man, an unlikely friendship, and a desperate
world few ever see. A gripping who-done-it journey back in time, it
begins with Masters meeting a drunken Stuart lying on a sidewalk in
Cambridge, England, and leads through layers of hell...back through
crimes and misdemeanors, prison and homelessness, suicide attempts,
violence, drugs, juvenile halls and special schools-to expose the
smiling, gregarious thirteen-year-old boy who was Stuart before his
long, sprawling, dangerous fall.
Shocking, inspiring, and hilarious by turns, Stuart: A Life
Backwards is a writer's quest to give voice to a man who, beneath
his forbidding exterior, has a message for us all: that every
life-even the most chaotic and disreputable-is a story worthy of
being told.
