Welcome to Litsy!

Paul O‘Grady was a comedian, actor, TV presenter, chat show host and British national treasure. The second in his autobiographical quartet charts 1973 to 1980 as he deals with his father‘s death, becomes a father, bounces between jobs, marries a lesbian, struggles to find a partner, travels internationally and starts to develop Lily Savage within the London drag scene. Told with O‘Grady‘s biting wit, it‘s sad, thoughtful, horrifying and honest.

Garden reading while the husband gardens. 😆

This is a memoir of a man who reconnects with his childhood best friend from boarding school after said friend is released from prison for the shocking murder of a family member. The story opens with the author meeting the friend at a train station and then goes back over their school years together and the times they spent at each other‘s houses.

Paul O‘Grady was a comedian, actor, TV presenter, chat show host and British national treasure. Warm, hilarious, horrifying and heartbreaking this is the first in his autobiography quartet, charting his life in Birkenhead from birth to his late teens and his relationship with his working class, Catholic parents and aunts. This 2018 reprint featured a new introduction by O‘Grady where he says he‘s softened some of the depictions of his family.

1. I‘m not named for a person, but am named because of the curtains that my parents put in my room when I was born. They had blocks with the letters M,L,R, and Y. As our last name started with Y, they decided on Michael/Michelle or Robert/Roberta, and finally came up with the unisex Robin Lynn. 2. My older son is named after David Beckham, and my younger son is named after Kevin Keegan - Beckham and Keegan. #two4tuesday

The fiction, nature and city section of my shelves seem to be dangerously near capacity! What to do!

Alan Davies is a British actor and comedian that i have watched for many years. He wrote this book in his fifties, finally unpacking the child abuse from his past. Its a hard read but also enlightening in terms of the way his abuser ensures he is isolated from any support or nurturing. Incredibly brave of him to put this out into the world and hopefully it helps others.
