The Books of Albion by Peter Doherty

The remarkable and revealing collected writings of Pete Doherty, from 1999 to the present day - a chance to understand one of the most intriguing personalities around

'The prose is strikingly raw.. the cumulative effect is curiously touching.' OBSERVER 'This book is like everything else Pete Doherty has ever done - at times brilliant, at others annoying, but never less than interesting.' SOUTHERN DAILY ECHO 'These diary entries, childhood reminiscenes and prose from 1999 onwards prove that under the drug hoover's brow there's a unique brain.' Q MAGAZINE 'witty and sensitive' SUNDAY TRIBUNE 'there are moments of joy, humourand, of course, real darkness' IRISH EXAMINER 'At times a curiously affecting work, it chronicles Doherty's transitionfrom aspiring poet and flowering teenage talent to a man increasingly fighting to shine through a chemicaly induced haze... Doherty can write beautifully' -- Steve Cummins IRISH DAILY MAIL ON SUNDAY

Aged 16, as winner of a British Council poetry competition, Peter Doherty embarked on poetry tour of Russia. He studied English Literature at the University of London for a year, before forming The Libertines with Carl Barat in the late nineties. They released two albums before falling apart; Babyshambles released 'Down in Albion' in November 2005; the single 'Fuck Forever' reached no.4 in the charts.
