{"product_id":"no-money-nice-cock-victor-brooks","title":"No Money Nice Cock - Victor Brooks","description":"\u003cp\u003eVictor fucks up. His friends rescue him. He keeps running... running zigzag. He knows he has to keep moving, to keep ahead of the verbs he has been avoiding: excise; suture; reconstruct; harvest; implant; mobilise. At 47, Victor's GP informs him, \"You're allowed to try and be happy.\" This statement, part-revelation, part manifesto, alive with possibility, was the permission slip and catalyst for change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSet over half a century across Christchurch, Auckland, Wellington, Melbourne, India, London and Haiti and written in two parts, NMNC is anarchic, high risk, dopamine-seeking with little reflection and few apologies. Humour finding absurdity in the extremes and serving as a disarming tool of vulnerability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A very gritty, gutsy, moving memoir of one man's coming of age in the wrong body, and his decision to undergo full transition. It's frank, unflinching, with bold streaks of humour : come to it with your open and lion hearts.\" Emma Neale, poet and novelist\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Brooks' memoir is a vital, groundbreaking work about all manner of transitions, delivered with equal parts gallows humour and radical vulnerability. It's a wild, gonzo, shocking, explicit and extremely funny exploration of identity and community — and that's just the bits about teaching high school. His story is raw and often confronting but will leave you awash in kindness and compassion. No shame, nice book.\" —Dr Erin Harrington, cultural critic and author\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I'm not much of a reader but the moment I started I binged NMNC in two days. The engaging and immediate plot and style drew me in; humour and pathos in beautiful balance.\" —Nicholas Macaulay, man about town\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Seldom do we come across an author who is brave enough to write with such true grit and honesty. NMNC uniquely reflects the NZ experience of this life-changing journey. It is a must read for everyone interested in, or pursuing, a medical or surgical transition.\" —Rowena Palmer, Clinical Psychologist\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victor Brooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44622385086506,"sku":"180287","price":35.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0161\/2974\/files\/download.jpg?v=1785184598","url":"https:\/\/www.worldbrand.co.nz\/products\/no-money-nice-cock-victor-brooks","provider":"WORLD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
