The Pacifist's Guide to Self-Flagellation

3.6/5 ( ratings)

From the cold and damp mining town in northern England where he was born, to the sun-drenched streets of western Sydney, John Larkin’s memoir of childhood will have you laughing out loud and squirming with recognition. John survives being attacked regularly by his knife-wielding, teddy-bear-decapitating older sister, and along the way takes time out to offer a unique insight into classroom dumpers, Bill and Ben the Flower Pot Men, pacifistic lollipop men, cocks and cocks in waiting, school milk, cobblers, kids who eat paste, deranged science teachers, and parents who tried to feed him to the sharks.
