  Robert Llewellyn is now a successful actor and alternative comedian - he plays Kryten in Red Dwarf . This is an account of one year in his adolescence in the early 1970s when he was 16-17. He left a solid middle-class home in Witney to live an alternative life in squats in the middle of Oxford - a life of drugs, pre-aids sex and naive political fantasies. The book includes such escapades as gate-crashing the Magdalene Ball, building a Buckminster Fuller Dome in an Oxford back garden, and washing up in the kitchens of Brasenose, but it is also a portrayal of a young man finding himself.
