Anyone infected became a social pariah; had the local launderette got word of his illness they wouldnt have washed his sheets but burnt them.</p><p>Whilst taking full responsibility for the consequences of his behaviour - The fact is you dont get AIDS from watching telly - Charlie initially took to the sofa and prepared for death, but, in time, he found the inner strength required to confront his fatal diagnosis, becoming, among other things, an antiques dealer and contemporary art collector.</p><p>With blistering and often hilarious candour Charlie also recounts his childhood where he developed a passion for cars, cultivated by his adventurous mother Nidnod, his dizzying array of careers and somewhat curious domestic arrangements including the adoption of a bank robber for twelve years. He also confronts head on his experiences of coming to terms with confused sexuality, addiction, epilepsy and clinical depression before finding lasting contentment.</p><p><strong>Praise for <em>Dear Lupin</em>:</strong><br />As well as being the funniest book Ive read in ages, its also extremely touching.
