Grayson Perry: Portrait of the Artist as a Young Girl by Wendy Jones, Grayson Perry
4.0
one star off cause this was way too short!!
Other than that, this was absolutely delightful. I saw a review which talked about how the lady had just read Just Kids and how different the experience of reading this was and that is literally what I was thinking the whole time. Perry has a very different tone when it comes to the way he describes his relationship with art and other people, taking on a very self-analytical approach, especially tying most of his actions and attitudes to his past trauma. I just wish he went a bit more in depth about the onset of his art career, but then again this was mostly a memoir on his years growing up rather than his life. Still loved it though!
