{"product_id":"sex-crimes-of-the-futcher","title":"Sex Crimes of the Futcher","description":"London: Printed by The Aquarium, Woburn Walk. 2004.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst edition. 232x155mm. pp. [viii], ii, [2], 235. Green cloth with illustration (by Childish) stamped in black to upper cover. Pictorial dustjacket with same portrait illustration in white, black and brown on upper cover. Endpapers decorated with a repeated sea-horse design. Some marking to dustjacket and a small stain to foot of spine but overall in very good condition and internally it is immaculate. Billy Childish is a genuinely counter-cultural figure. A writer, artist and musician he made his name as part of the Medway Poets, a punk performance poetry group based around Maidstone where he was at art college in the late 1970s. As a painter, he was a founder of the Stuckists and his disturbing style owes much to early twentieth century German Expressionism. His father was a convicted drug smuggler and Childish (who is dyslexic) was sexually abused as a child by a family friend and this trauma forms the point of departure of this dark autobiographical novel.","brand":"CHILDISH, Billy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64628800356721,"sku":"rbs1789792519262","price":44.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1017\/3340\/0945\/files\/sex-crimes-of-the-futcher_1.jpg?v=1789792523","url":"https:\/\/sunsetglowwear.shop\/products\/sex-crimes-of-the-futcher","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
