Witty, tender and daring essays from the British David Sedaris

'A lovely writer: supple, stylish and almost effortlessly witty.' Daily Mail



'Made me laugh out loud and then properly cry. Jennie Godfrey





When it comes to the challenge of being a man, Adam Farrer always seems to find a way to fall short





Broken Biscuits vividly recounts Adams struggles to live up to masculine expectations, real or imagined. From the calamity of his first serious relationship to an obsession with Prince that sees everyone questioning his sexuality, and from the repercussions of his adult circumcision to his doubts about his ability to survive the apocalypse, this candid and personal collection of essays is astonishingly far-reaching and riotously funny.



Holding up a mirror to Adams own body image, his relationship with his family, his sense of self-worth and the mortifying experience of arriving at a teenage party wearing strawberry-patterned short shorts, this book is about growing up and trying to define yourself as a man but somehow always missing the mark.

Recenzijas

'A splendid book, to be cherished by anyone with a funny bone. I loved it.' Daily Mail



I love everything about these essays, from Adam's willingness to be open about life, love, family and his nether regions, to his innate ability as a storyteller. Broken Biscuits made me laugh out loud and then properly cry. Jennie Godfrey



Adam writes like he knows me, the tiniest things he recalls uncover huge truths that resonate even now. I loved it. Justin Moorhouse



'A bold new voice in nonfiction writing.' Jenn Ashworth



Writing with such intimacy and ease, Farrer has crafted a brilliant collection of essays, by turns tender, disarmingly honest and achingly funny. Tawseef Khan



It will make you cry with laughter. Miranda France



Farrer's distinctive voice is once again on display in this entertaining collection of autobiographical essays. Bookseller Editors Choice



Brilliant, funny, occasionally wince-inducing, and incredibly moving. I loved Adams honesty and generosity. Sarah Brooks



Adams eye for the absurd is a delight, his candour about his own struggles utterly endearing. Threaded with his customary blend of melancholy and self-deprecating humour, these essays are a deep and courageous dive into what it feels like to be a man. Karen Powell



Adam is a fantastic writer and you're going to want to get this book. Steven Kedie



A touching, searching, and warm memoir funny and generous.' The Manchester Review
