Jack Sutherland, the narrator and protagonist of this memoir has,
you night say, led a charmed life in the face of seeming
damnation. A confirmed alcoholic in his early teens, by his
twenties he was PA and bodyguard to the Hollywood stars most
notably Michael Stipe, RuPaul and Mickey Rourke. His work took
him to exotic destinations around the world and bizarre
encounters and requests. It also led him back to a smorgasbord of
lethal addictions: alcohol, marijuana, ecstasy and perhaps most
damaging of all crystal meth and the crazed chem sex that
characterizes its use. On the shores of death's coastline, a nine
stone skeleton in a frame that once boasted the shape and tone of
a bodybuilder, Jack is saved. By his father, one of the literary
world's most esteemed personalities: John Sutherland.
