Autofellatio by James Maker

Popstar and polymath James Maker's Polari Prizewinning memoir, remastered with new chapters and photographs. If you hadn't heard of Raymonde or RPLA - fronted by James in the 80s and 90s - you might mistake AutoFellatio for fiction, its facts more fantastical than any novel as we follow him from Bermondsey enfant terrible to Valencian grande dame.
"Glitteringly epigrammatic, it's a glam-rock Naked Civil Servant in court shoesBut funnier. And tougher." - Mark Simpson; "Pistol sharp, loaded with witty one-liners and peppered with Maker's scatter gun observations on life, music and the meaning of good hair." - Paul Burston
James Maker first trod the boards in 1982 as a dancer and backing vocalist with The Smiths, and was erroneously known as 'The Fifth Smith'. He subsequently became lyricist and lead singer with the 1980s indie group, Raymonde, and 1990s 'gay' Hard rock group RPLA, releasing the albums Babelogue and Metal Queen Hijack respectively. In 2004, he supported the New York Dolls on their comeback show at the Royal Festival Hall. He also appeared opposite Ian Dury and Billy Connolly in the feature film Middleton’s Changeling. AutoFellatio won the inaugural Polari First Book Prize in 2011.
