“Brave and engaging.”Kirkus The remarkable follow-as much as her sensational, bestselling memoir

At the launch party for her memoir Clothes Music Boys in 2014, Viv Albertine received the news her mother was once dying. She left the party instantly and spent a couple of final hours with a woman who had been a huge presence and force in her life. In the weeks that followed, Viv was once left with the task of sorting through her mother’s affairs. In that process she came across one fatally curious item: a bag labelled “To throw away unopened”.

This auspicious moment lies on the heart of Viv Albertine’s second book, part memoir, part manifesto, part polemic by which she touches on sex, ageing, feminism (in all its guises) and other conundrums that characterize the 21st century life. This is a bold and unapologetic follow-as much as a book which became a sensation by a musician and author who sits on the heart of the counter-cultural landscape as of late as a celebrated and feted figure.
