'The fabulous and fascinating story of the flamboyant artist/writer/poet growing up in a family of chaos, alcohol and insanity. Beautifully written and unflinchingly honest, this is a mind-blowing tale of a life out of control.' Elle
Horsley, SebastianSebastian Horsley was an artist, writer and self-declared dandy, who was born in Yorkshire in 1962. In his memoir Dandy in the Underworld, published in 2007, he describes his dysfunctional upbringing and the highs and lows of his wild life as an adult. Also in 2007, the Spectrum London gallery mounted a retrospective of his art. His book was adapted as a play by Tim Fountain and opened at the Soho Theatre in London in June 2010, just before he died of an overdose.
