You Cannot Live As I Have Lived and Not End Up Like This : The Thoroughly Disgraceful Life and Times of Willie Donaldson

Author(s): Terence Blacker

RARE AND COLLECTIBLE | BIOGRAPHY

The life of Willie Donaldson ended in June 2005 when he was found dead in the seedy rented flat in Chelsea where he had lived for 35 years. Willie Donaldson's extraordinary career of writing, drug-taking, brilliance and underachievement put him in the same holy bracket as Peter Cook, Jeffrey Bernard, Peter Sellers, Hunter Thompson and Alan Clark.

2007, Second printing. A fine, unread copy in a fine, unclipped d/w. A superb copy. Scans available if required.
