Many have spoken of the 'human shadow', but few have the courage to speak from its heart. With painful honesty, Billy Childish does just that and in the process grows flowers from the shit. Seething with wonder and disgust, this volcanic novel sheds light on the 'lie of my family'. Born into the emerging middle classes of the 1950s, Billy Childish takes us on a nightmarish voyage through a blighted childhood which culminates in his being sexually abused by a friend of the family. Stumbling onward into adolescence he exposes his desperate attempts to make sense of a world distorted by alcohol, bullies and yesmen. My Fault is at turns hilarious and harrowing. Laced with lines of unforgettable poetry, it is that rare and wonderful thing - a book which had to be written. For the first time, the new edition of My Fault is illustrated by the author.
