Limp: A Funny Memoir

By Simon Eli Vella

Limp is the hilarious story of Simon Eli Vella's epic battle with crippling introversion, substance abuse, and social anxiety.

As a child, Simon is convinced there is something wrong with him. He is plagued with illness, has a nose shaped like a mountain range, and a distracting voice in his head is hell-bent on ruining his life.

And the voice has a name: Morgan Attenborough - a blend of Morgan Freeman and David Attenborough. But unlike his soothing narrator namesakes, this Morgan has a particularly nasty streak.

As a young adult Simon turns to alcohol and drugs in an effort to quell the debilitating monologue of Mr Attenborough, triggering a rapid descent into a social underbelly where lurid clothing, incongruous piercings and hazardous hairstyles are the norm.

However he soon discovers a most unwelcome side-effect of his drug use...

Buy now for a massively entertaining read that is part travelogue, part love story, and part thriller. Teeming with self-deprecating wit, the fast-paced narrative of Limp leaps from its pages like a brutal collision between David Sedaris and Hunter S. Thompson.

"Comically chronicles a youth filled with social anxiety, drug abuse, and shiftless meandering. Impressive...satisfying...a humorous, free-wheeling account of youthful indiscretions." --Kirkus Reviews
