From stalking and eventually meeting her Young Talent Time idol when she was twelve, to dalliances with streetwalkers, to a mildly perverse obsession with Bob Ellis, there is nothing Marieke Hardy won't write about. Voyeuristic, painful, hilarious and heartfelt, You'll Be Sorry When I'm Dead reveals the acerbic wit, unflinching gaze and razor-sharp insight of a writer at the height of her powers-or the unhinged fantasies of a dangerous mind with not enough to do.
You'll Be Sorry When I'm Dead
I really enjoyed this book. Marieke Hardy writes with witty sarcasm and has you frequently giggling. The first chapter was a bit debauched and does not reflect what's to come in the rest of the book, so don't be scared off by it. It was a delight to read.
