Stuart: A Life Backwards

Stuart Shorter:
[pointing to a book titled 'Mauve'] This one... what's this one about?

Alexander Masters:
The colour mauve.

Stuart Shorter:
How do they f***ing get away with this?

Alexander Masters:
Alexander: If you had to change one thing about your life, what would it be?

Stuart Shorter:
Stuart: Well, how much is one thing?

Stuart Shorter:
My name is Psycho but you can call me Stuart if you want.

Alexander Masters:
He's free! He's absolutely f***ing free!

Stuart Shorter:
What a load of bollocks! Who needs the queen?

Stuart Shorter:
Alexander, do you want to stay for tea? My favorite: Convict Currey. We used to make in jail.

Alexander Masters:
The book was finally published in April 2005. I think Stuart would have liked it.

[Alexander plays a tape in his car that Stuart gave him]

Stuart Shorter:
Hi Alexander. It's Stuart.

Alexander Masters:
Hello, Stuart.

Stuart Shorter:
...I've had lots to drink and that. I can't help reflect, about my brother, and my brother's friend. And they didn't believe me. And they didn't care. And the abuse, being asked to do things that I wouldn't have thought possible that anyone, could ask of an eleven year old. I just head-butted. And head-butted, and head-butted. The more you speak, the more you disbelieve. And no one listened to any thing I had to say. And I just sit here drinking, having mad conversations with myself. Talking about mutilating myself. Killing myself. Dragging down those who are responsible. I want to just lay down and die. I feel so dirty and f***ing horrible. Hating and attacking anyone I get close to. I just wish there could be an escape from this madness.
