Download or read book Ten Thousand Apologies written by Adelle Stripe and published by White Rabbit. This book was released on 2022-02-24 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the mountains of Algeria to the squats of South London via sectarian Northern Ireland, Ten Thousand Apologies is the sordid and thrilling story of the country's most notorious cult band, Fat White Family. Loved and loathed in equal measure since their formation in 2011, the relentlessly provocative, stunningly dysfunctional "drug band with a rock problem" have dedicated themselves to constant chaos and total creative freedom at all costs. Like a tragicomic penny dreadful dreamed up by a mutant hybrid of Jean Genet, the Dadaists and Mark E. Smith, the Fat Whites' story is a frequently jaw-dropping epic of creative insurrection, narcotic excess, mental illness, wanderlust, self-sabotage, fractured masculinity, and the ruthless pursuit of absolute art. Co-written with lucidity and humour by singer Lias Saoudi and acclaimed author Adelle Stripe, Ten Thousand Apologies is that rare thing: a music book that barely features any music, a biography as literary as any novel, and a confessional that does not seek forgiveness. This is the definitive account of Fat White Family's disgraceful and radiant jihad - a depraved, romantic and furious gesture of refusal to a sanitised era.

Among others, you'll meet the young professional whose insecurities end in an attitude adjustment, the long-lost crush who makes a move at her high school reunion, the college student whose lies come back to haunt her, and even the pair of divorcees who have more in common than they thought. So bend over and hang on tight, because at the end of this book there will be some very sore bottoms. One of them might even be yours.
