The winner of the Guardian First Book Award that reinvented the
biographic form. One of the ten books - novels, memoirs and one
very unusual biography - that make up our Matchbook Classics'
series, a stunningly redesigned collection of some of the best
loved titles on our backlist. Stuart: A Life Backwards expanded the
possibilities of what a biography could be: the stories it could
tell, and how it could tell them. It is about a remarkable
friendship between a reclusive writer ('a middle-class scum ponce,
if you want to be honest about it, Alexander'), and Stuart Shorter,
a thief, hostage-taker, psycho and street raconteur. Told backwards
- Stuart's idea - it starts with a deeply troubled
thirty-two-year-old stepping out in front of the 11.15 train from
London to King's Lynn, and ends with a 'happy-go-lucky little boy'
of twelve. Compelling, humane and funny, it is as extraordinary and
unexpected as the life it describes.
