3.0 out of 5 stars Charming portrait, 23 Feb 2006
By Stella Harpley "agentartois" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Grayson Perry: Portrait of the Artist as a Young Girl (Paperback)
After being an admirer of Perry's work for the last couple of years I was interested to read more about the man behind the pots (and dresses). Coming soon after reading Tracey Emin's revelatory writing I was prepared for an artist's life laid bare. I found this book to be tender, funny, enlightening and frank. For me there wasn't quite enough on his art but there was an awful lot on his motivation for concentration on the subject matter of his work. I look forward to the sequel that will bring me up to date with how he got from there to here!
