STUART: A LIFE BACKWARDS
By Alexander Masters. Published by Fourth Estate


Stuart Shorter's brief life was one of turmoil and chaos. Stuart was homeless, with many of the problems this section of British society display: alcoholism, drug-addiction, crime, violence. Alexander Masters retraces Stuart's troubled journey.

Scattered with glimpses of the author's friendship with Stuart in the years before his death, Masters gives us Stuart's life in reverse, tracing his route through the post-office heists, attempts at suicide, the many spells in prison, and so back to a troubled time at school and a violent childhood.

The book is fantastic, so will definatly be watching this tonight...

Well really enjoyed the programme, don't some people have awful lives, he seemed a nice man under it all. Was the programme as good as the book, they aren't usually?
