An excellent book about the disappearance of the Manic Street Preachers' Richey Edwards, told from the point of view of the man himself. Though it is fiction, the basis is in facts and that makes it all the more fascinating. The narrative is told in alternating passages of the present and the past, with the past leading up to where the book begins - delightfully circular. Myers has many beautiful, powerful sentences worth an immediate re-read before going on to the next. Highly recommended.

A fascinating read for Richey Edwards/early Manic fan. My only problem is I wish I knew how real the flashback bits were. They were by far the best bits but how true to life were they? I'm going to have to read the Manics book he got a lot of his research from in order to find out.
