THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER and A ROUGH TRADE BOOK OF THE YEAR 2022SHORTLISTED FOR THE PENDERYN MUSIC BOOK PRIZE'The story of a band that's always on the brink: of stardom, of madness, of brilliance, of disgrace' Miranda Sawyer, Observer'You begin to wonder why more biographies aren't tackled with such invention' Record Collector'This book is a rarity' Mark Lanegan'One of the finest music books in aeons' Kevin Barry'A bruising, exhilarating read, which captures the nihilistic energy of this strange and brilliant band' Independent'Destined to become a classic of the genre' Louder Than War'A fastidious portrait of chaos, displacement and bad acid' Mojo'Music book of the year? Already? Don't bet against it' Crack Magazine'Read it and writhe' Spider StaceyFrom the mountains of Algeria to the squats of South London via sectarian Northern Ireland, Ten Thousand Apologies is the sordid and thrilling story of the country's most notorious cult band, Fat White Family. Loved and loathed in equal measure since their formation in 2011, the relentlessly provocative, stunningly dysfunctional "drug band with a rock problem" have dedicated themselves to constant chaos and total creative freedom at all costs.Like a tragicomic penny dreadful dreamed up by a mutant hybrid of Jean Genet, the Dadaists and Mark E. Smith, the Fat Whites' story is a frequently jaw-dropping epic of creative insurrection, narcotic excess, mental illness, wanderlust, self-sabotage, fractured masculinity, and the ruthless pursuit of absolute art.Co-written with lucidity and humour by singer Lias Saoudi and acclaimed author Adelle Stripe, Ten Thousand Apologies is that rare thing: a music book that barely features any music, a biography as literary as any novel, and a confessional that does not seek forgiveness. This is the definitive account of Fat White Family's disgraceful and radiant jihad - a depraved, romantic and furious gesture of refusal to a sanitised era.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This slice of kitchen sink noir tells Dunbars story in print for the very first time. Featuring a cast of real and imagined characters, it is the result of four years painstaking research that has unearthed the hidden story of one of the Norths most enigmatic figures. It is a tale of the North / South divide and reveals how a shy teenage girl defied the circumstances she was born into to become one of West Yorkshires greatest dramatists. Set in the Thatcher era, it maps the extraordinary rise of a young woman from the Buttershaw estate, who is discovered via a Womens Aid refuge. She is propelled into the London theatre establishment and an adapted screenplay of two of her early plays brings her wealth, accolades and notoriety, while raising three young children. Rita, Sue and Bob Too! was a national scandal upon its release, and its tagline Thatchers Britain with Her Knickers Down ensures it is a box office sensation. Fame brings anxiety however, and Dunbar is unable to cope with the media attention, pressures of family life and writers block. She slowly succumbs to the pitfalls of drink and spends her last days in her local pub The Beacon, where she completes her final script based on a gang of unscrupulous debt collectors. In 1990, aged 29, she collapses from a fatal brain haemorrhage. One of the most important writers of her generation, this remarkably stubborn genius straight from the slums recorded the everyday realities of working-class life in the North of England. Dunbars unflinching autobiographical plays included themes of domestic violence, underage sex, poverty, racism, alcoholism and the declining status of men. By using frank and expletive-ridden dialogue she created a no-holds-barred account of the underclass composed in the tradition of social realism. The keenly anticipated debut novel by Adelle Stripe, inspired by the life and work of the Bradford playwright Andrea Dunbar. A slice of kitchen sink noir that tells Dunbar's story, featuring a cast of real and imagined characters.
