GOALKEEPER Zusammenfassung

GOALKEEPER: Memoir of Poet Peter Street (Games, Secrets, Epilepsy & Love) Peter Street

One 'alone, but not lonely' boy's triumph over adversity, motivated by his dream of becoming a professional footballer and a longing for truth and connection. Street's childhood memoir is a sensitive and honest portrayal, through a poetic autistic lens, of growing up with learning differences and epilepsy in an unconventional family during the 1950s and 60s. A unique and vivid social document of the period, highlighting much of the discrimination still faced by minority and disabled communities today.

Street has the most astonishing life story of anyone I have ever interviewed. -- John Harris (Guardian)
An often startling memory of things felt in a rather frightening, yet fascinating past. -- Alan Brownjohn (Author/Poet)
