{"product_id":"9780008637903","title":"Down the Drain by Julia Fox","description":"The hotly anticipated book from �?~one of the all-time pop-culture greats�?T (New York magazine) that chronicles her shocking life and unyielding determination to not only survive but achieve her dreams.                       �?~Intense and compelling�?T SUNDAY TIMES          'A gripping and powerful coming-of-age story' TELEGRAPH          �?~A masterpiece�?T GREG JAMES, BBC RADIO 1          Julia Fox is famous for many things: her captivating acting, such as her breakout role in the film Uncut Gems; her trendsetting style, including bleached eyebrows, exaggerated eyeshadow and cutout dresses; her mastery of social media. But all these share the trait for which she is most famous: unabashedly and unapologetically being herself.             This commitment to authenticity has never been more on display than in Down the Drain. Fox recounts her turbulent path to cultural supremacy: her parents�?T volatile relationship that divided her childhood between Italy and New York City and left her largely raising herself; a possessive and abusive drug-dealing boyfriend whose torment continued even from within Rikers Island; her own trips to jail as well as to a psychiatric hospital; her work as a dominatrix that led to a complicated entanglement with a sugar daddy; a heroin habit that led to New Orleans trap houses and that she would kick only after the fatal overdose of her best friend; her own near-lethal overdoses and the deaths of still more friends from drugs and suicide; an emotionally explosive, tabloid-dominating romance with a figure she dubs �?oThe Artist�??; a whirlwind, short-lived marriage and her trials as a single parent striving to support her young son.             Yet as extraordinary as her story is, its universality is what makes it so powerful. Fox doesn�?Tt just capture her evolution from grade-school outcast to fashion-world icon, she captures her transition from girlhood to womanhood to motherhood. Family and friendship, sex and death, violence and love, money and power, innocence and experience�?\"it�?Ts all here, in raw, remarkable and riveting detail.             More than a year before the book's publication, Fox's description of it as \"a masterpiece\" in a red carpet interview went viral. As always, she was just being honest. Down the Drain is a true literary achievement, as one-of-a-kind as its author.; 336 pages; 10\/10\/2023\u003cdiv class=\"goodreadr\" data-isbn=\"9780008637903\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43125361180851,"sku":"9780008637903","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/6874\/1219\/products\/9780008637903.jpg?v=1709759258","url":"https:\/\/www.books2door.com\/products\/9780008637903","provider":"Books2Door","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
