This is the story of Stuart Shorter: thief, hostage-taker, psycho and street raconteur. It is a story told backwards, as he wanted, from the man he was when Alexander Masters met him to a “happy-go-lucky little boy” of twelve. Brilliant, humane and funny, it is as extraordinary and unexpected as the life it describes.
