Chapter Five

Gettin off the estate’s like breathin air for the first time. I know I grew up there, an that, but I ain’t got one fuckin thing I took from the place worth a fuck. Me old man, he was a waste of fuckin time, and me mum she spent her whole life pretendin everything round her weren’t happenin.

A kid can’t grow up like that and not come out fucked.

That’s why I took to me books.

Poetry and classics, mainly. Had this idea of betterin meself, you know. Risin above all the shit floatin round me. Nicked me first couple of books from school when I was in the third year – a collection of poems by Keats, and Homer’s Odyssey. Dad found em, said they was for poofs and nonces. Dragged me by me ear to the metal bins downstairs and threw em in. Set fire to em with his lighter. Next day, he made me join the boxin club. Said I needed to learn how to be a man.

After that, I spent half me life down the boxin club beatin the shit out of other kids, and the other half in the library readin every fuckin thing I could get me hands on.

I left school with fuck all. But I was built like a shit–house and I could quote Rime of the Ancient fuckin Mariner word for fuckin word.
