Winner of the Orwell Prize 2018. People from deprived communities all around Britain feel misunderstood & unheard. Darren Mc Garvey aka Loki gives voice to their feelings & concerns, & the anger that is spilling over. Anger he says we will have to get used to, unless things change. He invites you to come on a safari of sorts. A Poverty Safari. But not the sort where the indigenous population is surveyed from a safe distance for a time, before the window on the community closes & everyone gradually forgets about it.I know the hustle & bustle of high-rise life, the dark & dirty stairwells, the temperamental elevators that smell like urine & wet dog fur, the grumpy concierge, the apprehension you feel as you enter or leave the building, especially at night. I know that sense of being cut off from the world, despite having such a wonderful view of it through a window in the sky; that feeling of isolation, despite being surrounded by hundreds of other people above, below & either side of you. But most of all, I understand the sense that you are invisible, despite the fact that your community can be seen for miles around & is one of the most prominent features of the city skyline. ...

Pour Me: A Life

A. A. Gill`s memoir begins in the dark of a dormitory with six strangers. He is an alcoholic, dying in the last-chance saloon - driven to dry out, not out of a desire to change but mainly through weariness. He tells the truth - as far as he can remember it - about drinking and about what it is like to be drunk. Pour Me is about the black-outs, the collapse, the despair: `Pockets were a constant source of surprise - a lamb chop, a votive candle, earrings, notes written on paper and ripped from books, ` and even, once, a pigeon. `Morning pockets, ` he says, `were like tiny crime scenes.` He recalls the lost days, lost friends, failed marriages.. .But there was also `an optimum inebriation, a time when it was all golden, when the drink and the pleasure made sense and were
brilliant`. Sobriety regained, there are painterly descriptions of people and places, unforgettable musings about childhood and family, art and religion, friendships and fatherhood; and, most movingly, the connections between his cooking, dyslexia and his missing brother. Full of raw and unvarnished truths, exquisitely written throughout, Pour Me is about lost time and self-discovery.Lacerating, unflinching, uplifting, it is a classic about drunken abandon.
