Krátky popis
'There's never been a more honest or raw memoir ... and it may just
save lives' Daily Mail'Funny, fascinating, compelling ... also a
wonderful read for fans of Friends' The TimesThe beloved star of
Friends takes us behind the scenes of the hit sitcom and his
struggles with addiction in this candid, funny, and revelatory
memoir that delivers a powerful message of hope and persistence.
This is the riveting story of acclaimed actor Matthew Perry, who
takes us along on his journey from childhood ambition to fame to
addiction and recovery in the aftermath of a life-threatening
health scare. Before the frequent hospital visits and stints in
rehab, there was five-year-old Matthew, who travelled from Montreal
to Los Angeles, shuffling between his separated parents;
fourteen-year-old Matthew, who was a nationally ranked tennis star
in Canada; twenty-four-year-old Matthew, who nabbed a coveted role
as a lead cast member on the talked-about pilot then called Friends
Like Us. . . and so much more. In an extraordinary story that only
he could tell - and in the heartfelt, hilarious, and warmly
familiar way only he could tell it - Matthew Perry lays bare the
fractured family that raised him (and also left him to his own
devices), the desire for recognition that drove him to fame, and
the void inside him that could not be filled even by his greatest
dreams coming true. But he also details the peace he's found in
sobriety and how he feels about the ubiquity of Friends, sharing
stories about his castmates and other stars he met along the way.
Frank, self-aware, and with his trademark humour, Perry vividly
depicts his lifelong battle with addiction and what fuelled it
despite seemingly having it all. Friends, Lovers, and the Big
Terrible Thing is an unforgettable memoir that is both intimate and
eye-opening - as well as a hand extended to anyone struggling with
sobriety. Unflinchingly honest, moving, and uproariously funny,
this is the book fans have been waiting for. 'An unflinching and
often harrowing must-read for 90s pop culture fans'
Guardian'Written with Chandler's trademark sarcasm and
self-deprecation' Telegraph'A hopeful read ... I started to think
of [it] not as a celebrity memoir about addiction, but as an
addiction memoir written by a man who understands his own history
through the prism of showbiz' Independent
