Paperback. Pugnus In a life he eventually decides to leave, we meet Jeremy through the eyes of both his most critical audience, and his biggest fan. After spending the best part of his adult life in the limelight, Jeremy easily gets work based on who he used to be. Somewhere between taking just enough guest slots to keep the fans happy, and owning a highly sort after spot fairly close to his family in a leafy part of London, what he wants is still just out of reach. Luckily the smile still reaches the eyes, but sometimes what you need is a mug of vodka and two tablets from the piss yellow bottle, to get it there. 'As Jeremy's last days unfold the secret world his fans don't get to see, Pugnus reveals a starkly honest glimpse into some of the prolifically experienced, yet vehemently unspoken taboos, which are often hidden in plain sight.' " Saturday *10.32am* (Ashley)Food, sleep, and jingle ball. All that any good boy could want. As long as he could make Jeremy laugh and keep him safe, it was a good day as far as Ashley was concerned.

The lighters lid felt smooth and cold as he gently flipped it with a satisfying plink, up and back down. A metronome for his thoughts. Out of habit, he placed his thumb pad directly over the familiar uneven grain of words inscribed into the metal, to hide them or be closer to them, he was never sure. " 'This story is by no means unique in the real world. What is unique however, is finding it being told from this vantage point in the literary world. Not only because we get to listen to his dogs thoughts on the seemingly mundane but happy time they spend together, but because we get to listen to Jeremys own thoughts on the mediocre, or maybe even privileged daily build up that leads him to take his own life.

This tragic death by suicide and many of the things that lead to the final hours of Jeremys life, have been explored with truly fresh eyes.'

Diritto legale di recesso
Hai il diritto di recedere dal presente contratto entro 14 giorni senza fornire alcuna motivazione.
