1. Bittersweet
The award-winning comic鈥檚 memoir reflecting on his bittersweet childhood in Lincolnshire and the pitfalls of masculinity.
Comedian, actor and writer Robert Webb looks back on his bittersweet childhood in Lincolnshire, and also has wise words on masculinity's pitfalls.
Best known for his work with David Mitchell on 大象传媒 Radio 4's award winning That Mitchell and Webb Sound and Channel 4 TV's Peep Show, Robert has written a memoir that is both laugh out loud funny and powerfully moving and tender.
An uneasy early childhood growing up in Lincolnshire, is followed by schoolboy crushes on girls and boys, to discovering a talent for making people laugh, to grief, and to becoming a husband and father. As his life story unfolds, Robert questions the expectations thrust on boys and men and reflects on how these have shaped the man he is today.
