In the rain. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this compelling memoir, comedian and actor Alan Davies recalls his boyhood with vivid insight and devastating humour. Shifting between his 1970s upbringing and his life today, Davies moves poignantly from innocence to experience to the clarity of hindsight, always with a keen sense of the absurd. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom sibling dynamics, to his voiceless, misunderstood progression through school, sexuality and humiliating 'accidents', Davies inhabits his younger mind with spectacular accuracy, sharply evoking an era when Green Shield Stamps, Bob-a-Job week and \u003ci\u003eWhizzer \u0026amp; Chips\u003c\/i\u003e loomed large, a bus fare was 2p - and children had little power in the face of adult motivation. Here, there are often exquisitely tender recollections of the mother he lost at six years old, of a bereaved family struggling to find its way, and the kicks and confusion of adolescence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough even the joyous and innocent memories, the pain of Davies's lifelong grief and profound betrayal is unfiltered, searing and beautifully articulated. \u003ci\u003eJust Ignore Him \u003c\/i\u003eis not only an autobiography, it is a testament to a survivor's resilience and courage.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlan Davies is a comedian, writer and actor, best known for starring in the hit BBC series \u003ci\u003eJonathan Creek\u003c\/i\u003e and his regular appearances as a panellist on \u003ci\u003eQI\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 7.7 x 4.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 23, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47186195939577,"sku":"9780349144368","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/TG9jaUtkQ1FHOHJkb09aNGU4dE4ydz09.webp?v=1767830786","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/just-ignore-him-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
