このコンテンツについて
'A bold new voice in nonfiction writing.' Jenn Ashworth
When it comes to the challenge of being a man, Adam Farrer always seems to find a way to fall short…
Broken Biscuits vividly recounts Adam’s struggles to live up to masculine expectations, real or imagined. From the calamity of his first serious relationship to an obsession with Prince that sees everyone questioning his sexuality, and from the repercussions of his adult circumcision to his doubts about his ability to survive the apocalypse, this candid and personal collection of essays is astonishingly far-reaching and riotously funny.
Holding up a mirror to Adam’s own body image, his relationship with his family, his sense of self-worth and the mortifying experience of arriving at a teenage party wearing strawberry-patterned short shorts, this book is about growing up and trying to define yourself as a man but somehow always missing the mark.

‘Farrer’s distinctive voice is once again on display in this entertaining collection of autobiographical essays, which document his lifelong struggle to grow into societal expectations of manhood.’ Bookseller Editor’s Choice
'I love everything about these essays, from Adam’s willingness to be open about life, love, family and his nether regions, to his innate ability as a storyteller. Broken Biscuits made me laugh out loud and then properly cry in the space of a few paragraphs.' Jennie Godfrey
'It will make you cry with laughter.' Miranda France
'Adam is a fantastic writer and you're going to want to get this book.' Steven Kedie
‘Adam’s eye for the absurd is a delight, his candour about his own struggles utterly endearing. Threaded with his customary blend of melancholy and self-deprecating humour, these essays are a deep and courageous dive into what it feels like to be a man.' Karen Powell
