I Wanna Be Yours by John Cooper Clarke
5.0
John Cooper Clarke has lived a full and extraordinary life, and this account of it is hugely entertaining. Written in his unique and inimitable style, he is self-deprecating and witty. The cast of extras is incredible - he's met and worked with a vast array of fascinating characters and delights in them all.
He is frank about his addiction and the time and effort expended in any given situation to make sure he was sorted - that always came first to ensure he could function. You can't help wondering how much more he might have achieved if he had put the same effort into his writing. But less is often more and perhaps we wouldn't revere him so if his output had been more consistent.
I Wanna Be Yours is the life story of a national treasure who has been instrumental in making poetry accessible to everyone. Highly recommended.
