I couldn’t read the first time I found my dad’s secret stash of mags, but things were never the same. By 1986, when I turned fourteen, it was everywhere I looked, but nowhere I went.
I kept a journal that year: the lunatics I called a family, a soul-crushing state school, glorious Soho, casual humiliation, and the things kids weren’t meant to notice.
And then something happened that I didn’t have the words for. It felt like learning to read all over again - only this time it hurt.
Love in the Time of Nudie mags is a coming-of-age tale flayed open and left twitching.
Funny, observant, revolting, and unflinching.
Actually, spare me the blurb. This book is probably not for you.
Love in the Time of Nudie Mags reached #1 in Amazon Kindle New Releases on Amazon.com and entered the Top 100 in British & Irish Literary Fiction.
