Publisher Description
The formative memories of one of Britain's greatest contemporary artists, now with a new introduction from Emin herself
'Honest and extraordinary'
GUARDIAN
'A remarkable book - and an original, beautiful mind'
EVENING STANDARD
Here I am, a f****d, crazy, anorexic-alcoholic-childless, beautiful woman. I never dreamed it would be like this.
Welcome to Strangeland.
The incandescent world of Tracey Emin.
Encompassing the Margate of her childhood, the Turkey of her forefathers and the art-filled chaos of her thirty-something life in London.
Intimate and original, these confessions are deeply moving. In spite of the challenges she faces, Tracey remains profoundly romantic and uncompromisingly honest. Here is her life on the page.
'Beautiful . . . unguarded, open-hearted, shocking'
DAILY TELEGRAPH
'Painfully honest'

Customer Reviews
Honest
This is a painfully honest and open journey through the life (and mind) of one of the UK's most important contemporary artists. Some parts were difficult to read and I don't shock easily.
I would have liked to have read more about her art process, but that's not what this book is about.
Turns your insides out
Raw, heart wrenching, relatable ( if you have a vagina)
Completely worth the read
Possibly one of the most fascinating books I have ever read. It's easy to read which makes the journey trough the book that much more pleasurable.
Anyone who is interested in Tracey Emin's work should read this book, it's the kind of passion and knowledge you'll never get from a gallery review.
