Publisher Description
In this book my father dies. I almost die.*** My showbiz career winds down. And yet everyone keeps telling me it's the funniest book I've ever written. If I'd known that's what the public wanted, I'd have cancelled Pets Win Prizes and just got sick sooner.
Along the way this time we encounter, among others, David Bowie, Kanye West (I think), John Cleese, Peter O'Toole, and have several adventures in the Fourth Dimension. Oh, and I can reveal the Man With The Foulest Mouth In All Show Business. Plus assorted high-kicking hoopla and a whole lot of rather stark stuff about what it's like to be told you could be On The Way Out.
*** (SPOILER ALERT: I don't actually die.)
Customer Reviews
Going on the turn,triumph.
I've enjoyed all of Danny's books, and always feel at ease and in the hands of an excellent wordsmith at the top of his craft. Naturally witty,not trying to impress and just telling it how it is, which is a language I understand and can relate to.
This harrowing account , often tear inducing of his cancer treatment,should be on a schools syllabus , it's real ,relevant, with dignity and pathos. I laughed and cried, as I always do with his books.
