Beschreibung

<p><strong>The hotly anticipated book from 'one of the all-time pop-culture greats' (<em>New York</em> magazine) that chronicles her shocking life and unyielding determination to not only survive but achieve her dreams.</strong></p><p><strong>'Intense and compelling'</strong> SUNDAY TIMES</p><p><strong>'A gripping and powerful coming-of-age story'</strong> TELEGRAPH</p><p><strong>'A masterpiece'</strong> GREG JAMES, BBC RADIO 1</p><p>Julia Fox is famous for many things: her captivating acting, such as her breakout role in the film <em>Uncut Gems</em>; her trendsetting style, including bleached eyebrows, exaggerated eyeshadow and cutout dresses; her mastery of social media. But all these share the trait for which she is <em>most</em> famous: unabashedly and unapologetically being herself.</p><p>This commitment to authenticity has never been more on display than in <em>Down the Drain</em>. Fox recounts her turbulent path to cultural supremacy: her parents' volatile relationship that divided her childhood between Italy and New York City and left her largely raising herself; a possessive and abusive drug-dealing boyfriend whose torment continued even from within Rikers Island; her own trips to jail as well as to a psychiatric hospital; her work as a dominatrix that led to a complicated entanglement with a sugar daddy; a heroin habit that led to New Orleans trap houses and that she would kick only after the fatal overdose of her best friend; her own near-lethal overdoses and the deaths of still more friends from drugs and suicide; an emotionally explosive, tabloid-dominating romance with a figure she dubs "The Artist"; a whirlwind, short-lived marriage and her trials as a single parent striving to support her young son.</p><p>Yet as extraordinary as her story is, its universality is what makes it so powerful. Fox doesn't just capture her evolution from grade-school outcast to fashion-world icon, she captures her transition from girlhood to womanhood to motherhood. Family
