I felt a lot of empathy for David Jester in reading this autobiography. It seems his early writing career in a way saved his life, and I don't think I'm giving too much away because the story is everything before that, and how he got to the point that something positive was happening in his life. He seems to have grown up in a very narrow minded community and he shows a life in which everything was closing in on him, without being pathetic about it or even asking the reader for sympathy. He doesn't feel sorry for himself, in fact he seems to be a person who more or less wanted everyone to leave him alone, including himself. It's sad, humorous and courageous.
