Leaving Home : A Memoir in Full Colour Hardcover Book
“Refund was approved and back in my account the same day.” - Deliver+ customer
Tender, transporting, creative and beautifully written ... Simply glorious, from start to finish Rachel Clarke, author of Dear LifeSimultaneously heartbreaking and darkly hilarious, Leaving Home is a portrait of the artist both as a child and as an adult.Mark Haddons parents were not really cut out for the job of having children. They were cut out, respectively, for the jobs of designing abattoirs and keeping a pathologically clean and tidy house. At least Mark had the consolations of The Weetabix Solar System Wallchart, walnut whips and the occasional Babycham.Astringently honest and scalpel sharp, this is a book about being different and seeing the world differently. Its about being a cartoonist and a care assistant. Its about family. Its about how art, in all its varied forms, provides a way of understanding and coming to terms with the mess of human life. And its richly illustrated throughout with images from the authors childhood.As bracing as it is embracing, Leaving Home is about escaping a place that never felt like home and learning to create somewhere that does.I loved this funny, melancholy and arrestingly original memoir of an artists coming into being Sarah Perry, author of Enlightenment
