Helpful Score: 2


Hysterical, depressing, optimistic, and shocking, and all completely true. Alexander Masters writes the true story (backwards) of Stuart, a homeless man living in England. He admits that there's no way to predict what's going to push a human being to the outside of society, but he certainly paints a picture of what COULD do it, and how even the dregs of society can sometimes have a strange nobility.
