ABOUT JOE
Joe South was born in Oxford in 1944. During his teenage years he became addicted to drugs and promiscuous sex. Later he spent 13 years as a registered heroin addict. Breaking free of his narcotic habit in 1981 he went on to establish Rhoserchan, an addictions rehabilitation centre in Aberystwyth.
OTHER WRITINGS
“He writes fluently and these chapters make colourful reading, not just on account of the subject matter but because he has an excellent eye and ear for the telling detail. There is also, as well as the touches of humour, an underlying strain of melancholy seasoning the narrative.”
POPPY DREAM
Read this book and talk about it! It should come with a warning – ‘highly addictive; I couldn’t put it down’. I laughed and cringed and cried and laughed some more.
