Synopsis

'Honest and extraordinary' GUARDIAN

'A remarkable book - and an original, beautiful mind' EVENING STANDARD
Here I am, a fucked, crazy, anorexic-alcoholic-childless, beautiful woman. I never dreamed it would be like this.

Welcome to Strangeland.

The incandescent world of Tracey Emin.

Encompassing the Margate of her childhood, the Turkey of her forefathers and the art-filled chaos of her thirty-something life in London.

Intimate and original, these confessions are deeply moving. In spite of the challenges she faces, Tracey remains profoundly romantic and uncompromisingly honest. Here is her life on the page.

This twentieth-anniversary edition, with a new introduction from Emin herself, celebrates the formative memories of one of Britain's greatest contemporary artists.

'Beautiful . . . unguarded, open-hearted, shocking' DAILY TELEGRAPH

'Painfully honest' JEANETTE WINTERSON, THE TIMES
