Patient by Ben Watt
Ben Watt is one half of the pop group "Everything But The Girl", and was recently struck down by a rare, life-threatening illness called Churg-Strauss Syndrome. It attacked his bowel, leaving it badly diseased and irreparably damaged. In this book, Watt describes all the traumatic events. Partly a medical story, it's also an account of Watt's relationship with his partner, Tracey Thorn, and with his family.Born in 1962, Ben Watt is a musician, songwriter, DJ and author. His first book, Patient: The True Story of a Rare Illness was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, voted a Sunday Times Book of the Year by William Boyd and shortlisted for the Esquire Non-fiction Book of the Year. He is perhaps most well known for his twenty-year career in alt-pop duo Everything But The Girl (1982-2002). He is also an international club and radio DJ, and since 2003 has run his own independent record labels Buzzin' Fly and Strange Feeling. Having recently returned to songwriting and live performance, his first solo album for thirty years is expected in 2014. He lives in north London with his wife Tracey Thorn and their three children.
