These Mortal Cells is the life story of an Australian man who was
sexually abused as a child. He suffers enormous trauma and social
exclusion as a result. As a kind of pain killer, when puberty sets
in, he drinks heavily and takes a lot of drugs. He tries to live a
normal life but can't. He goes to university in Brisbane, travels a
lot, does menial work and works as a teacher for ten years in
various non-English speaking countries, but can't escape childhood.
Wherever he goes, abuse goes too. He can never associate sex with
love because of the sexual abuse he suffered. He has long drawn out
obsessions with women that always end in a mess. Subsequently, in
London, he murders a man, a complete stranger, who is a symbol of
the world that he feels has rejected him. He goes on the run in
Poland for 14 months teaching English, but eventually is arrested
by Scotland Yard. He is extradited back to England where he
receives a life sentence for murder. During his 16 years in jail he
becomes a writer and learns how to succeed.
