Alexei Sayle first came to fame in the early 1980s as a member of the alternative comedy vanguard. Since then, he has reinvented himself as a novelist and accomplished actor. This is his hilarious and deeply affectionate account of growing up as the child of two committed Communists: when your parents are revolutionaries, youthful rebellion is forced to take some surprising forms.
