This is a very easy read, split into lots of short chapters and so easy to dip into whenever you have five minutes. GP seems to have crammed a lot into his younger life and it’s interesting to see how his experiences and thoughts have manifested themselves in his art. But I have to say I didn’t recognise some of the things he did with his friends as art; it seemed like a bunch of exhibitionists dressing up (or not) and indulging themselves in the name of being creative.

This biography will be enjoyed by those who are interested in Grayson Perry but it left me feeling a little flat. His recent Reith lectures are much more vibrant and entertaining.
