Beschreibung
<p><b>'Tender, transporting, creative and beautifully written ... </b><b>Simply glorious, from start to finish'</b> Rachel Clarke, author of <i>Dear Life</i></p><p><b>Simultaneously heart-breaking and darkly hilarious, <i>Leaving Home</i> is a portrait of the artist both as a child and as an adult.</b></p><p>Mark Haddon's parents were not really cut out for the job of having children. They were cut out, respectively, for the jobs of designing abattoirs and keeping a pathologically clean and tidy house. At least Mark had the consolations of <i>The Weetabix Solar System Wallchart</i>, walnut whips and the occasional Babycham.</p><p>Astringently honest and scalpel sharp, this is a book about being different and seeing the world differently. It's about being a cartoonist and a care assistant. It's about family. It's about how art, in all its varied forms, provides a way of understanding and coming to terms with the mess of human life. And it's richly illustrated throughout with images from the author's childhood.</p><p><b>As bracing as it is embracing, <i>Leaving Home</i> is about escaping a place that never felt like home and learning to create somewhere that does.</b></p><p>'I loved this funny, melancholy and arrestingly original memoir of an artist's coming into being' Sarah Perry, author of Enlightenment</p>
