So Me

So Me

by Graham Norton (Author)

Synopsis

Graham Norton, whose impish charm and quick wit has earned him a place in our hearts, looks back at his life so far. In his own words, SO ME is 'a real romp through a journey from living in a cockroach-infested council flat in Hackney to buying Claudia Schiffer's townhouse in Manhattan, from my mother dragging me to school to me dragging her to Sharon Stone's house for New Year's brunch'. From a not-so miserable Irish childhood to dropping out of Cork University and joining a commune of hippies in San Francisco, from his disastrous attempts at becoming a serious actor to the rise of his comedy career in London, this is a hilarious, insightful and moving account of a colourful life.

Media Reviews
A frank, funny and sometimes tortured autobiography * Andrew Billen, The Times *
Honest and entertaining ... he uses his quick wit and humour to amuse the reader from start to finish * The Sun *
Frank and funny * Mirror *
A jaunty romp with oodles of humour * Hot Stars (OK) *
A hugely engaging account of his life that is written with the same breezy bravura that he exhibits on telly ... There are points in the book when I found myself laughing out loud, and others when I was unusually moved ... Celebrity memoirs are rarely as genuine or as generously candid * Herald *
