Stuart by Alexander Masters
A biography of a homeless man and a complete portrait of the hidden underclass.
'This is a very rare and moral and haunting book, the best of its kind since Alan Bennett's The Lady in the VanOn the way to telling the story of one homeless man, Alexander Masters manages to tell a compelling story about modern Britain, and a new and sometimes funny story about the trials of authorship. A great first book: I think it should replace the Gideon Bible in every hotel room in Britain.' Andrew O'Hagan
Alexander Masters lives in Cambridge, where he has worked in a hostel for homeless people. This is his first book.
