Summary
Richard E. Grant’s life changed almost overnight when he was cast as the lead in Withnail & I in 1986. He kept a diary of the experience, the bestselling With Nails, and now it is published for the first time in audio, read by the author.
Funny and revealing, told with trademark candour, join Richard E. Grant on the shoot of a lifetime.
Critic reviews
"In these dashing diaries of his recent years in the movies, Grant shares with candour his wonder at this aberrant universe and its inhabitants." (Sunday Times)
"An exceptionally vivid and penetrating insight into Hollywood film-making... What most of us want is gossip about starts, and this is something the book delivers in spades... Qualifies for that exclusive niche reserved for film star memoirs that are worth much more than a casual flick on the bookshop shelf." (Observer)

Word smith, best read book ever, a trip of a story….
I just love love this book. He’s amazing. A character in his own right, he has no airs or graces. He has a beautiful way at looking at the world and he’s the best storyteller! Love it!

Like a friend telling a story of Hollywood rise to fame
REG paints an honest picture of his breakthrough into film, carrying all the worry, concerns and sharing the sense of his success.

Love the diary entries format
Really enjoyed Pocket Full of Happiness (despite the obviously heartbreaking content) so was chuffed to find this earlier title. I could listen to “Swazi Boy” read the back of a cereal box, but it was interesting and entertaining to hear the stories behind the films.

Cannot wait for a follow up!
Truly wonderful memoir performed..and yes it is performed…by such a warm, down to earth and razor-witted actor. I read the hard copy years ago after being enthralled by Withnail, but this is an even bigger treat filled with intriguing Hollywood behind the scenes stories. Loved it.
