Christopher Fowler's memoir captures life in suburban London as it offers hardly ever been seen: through the eye of a depressed son who spends his times between the collection and the cinema, devouring novels, comics, and cereal packets - whatever might reveal a story. Caught between an ever-sensible but fatigued mom and a DIY-obsessed dad preventing his own demons, Christopher calls for refuge in words. His parents try to understand their son's peculiar obsessions, but fast lose perseverance with him - and each other. The battle of nerves escalates to add every member of the Fowler family, and something has to give, but does it imply that a boy should always give up his dreams for the troublesome lessons of true to life? Magnificently written, this abundant and astute evocation of a period and a location recalls a youth simultaneously entertainingly eccentric and endearingly ordinary.
