Description
'It seems to me that we are all made up of the things we adore, and by telling my stories through the prism of my passions I hope you will get an insight into my life.'
In his new autobiography, written with characteristic humour and often outrageous candour, Graham shows that life is more than just a series of dates and it's really the things you love that make you who you are. From his beloved dogs to his rediscovered love of Ireland, the men Graham has loved and lost to his love affair with New York.
It's been ten years since Graham last hit our shelves, and being a decade older, he has come to realise that what makes a life interesting is less what happens to you and more what inspires and drives you.
Graham Norton's career has spanned the last two decades, seeing him transition from 'risquΓ© Channel 4 comedian to national treasure' (Evening Standard), and he has entertained an audience of millions in Father Ted, as the hilarious host of Eurovision, and on his primetime BBC1 TV and weekly BBC Radio 2 shows. He is loved across the nation for his delight in the peculiar and for his ability to find humour and a common ground in all that life brings.
In The Life and Loves of a He Devil, Graham shows us it's really the things you love that make you who you are.
