Killing It

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is a book for those who smoke and want to stop and for those who've stopped but need reassurance. I'm the latter. I started and stopped four times and this final time was the last. I'm never going to take the crown from Allan Carr for writing a practical book about quitting smoking so I've written my own, consisting of cold facts, personal memories, home-spun philosophies and hard life experience. I'll make a deal with you: as long as you're reading this book, you won't smoke. I don't mean just as long as you're physically holding the book in your hands and lifting the words from the page with your eyes, even if you read a little, a few pages, then put it down and go off and do something else and then come back to it again. No. As long as there's a relationship between you and the contents of this book, you won't smoke. Is that a deal? Just remember: there's no dignity in slavery. If you want dignity - you've got to be emancipated.

Autorenporträt

Darlington for Culture Review This is the story of an ordinary boy from an ordinary working-class family in an ordinary northern town. If that sounds ordinary, it's not!Jethro Anson Nowsty was born and brought up in Darlington and we follow his life from his very earliest memories up to his approaching adulthood. This mixed-up kid was born in the early 1960s and the author describes everyday life as it was then - warts 'n' all. The music, food, transport, housing and entertainment of the 1960s and 1970s are all brought into clear focus in a series of short stories. Instead of a strictly chronological order, the author goes back and forth through the years writing in a way that draws the reader back in time to when a computer filled a whole room and dialling a phone number took longer than the call itself. All of this is interwoven with national and international news and the background to all of these stories is Darlington. All the landmark buildings, roads and parks, shops and schools are mentioned and described. It's a history of a special time in a special town, told with humour and affection through the eyes of a special 'mixed-up kid'.'
