The Orton Diaries

Well i had wanted to read this book for ages!
I have had a long ongoing and slightly macabre obsession with the Joe Orton story.... so tragic was it.
He was an indisputable talent, risen from a humble background, and his work is revered the world over.
His untimely and maybe ultimately unavoidable death, aged just 34, at the hands of his long term lover, Ken Halliwell, was unbelievably sad.... and the majority of his fame came posthumously.
Reading this felt intrusive but very fascinating, and was something completely different from the normal genres that i read.
A definite recommendation if you fancy something different.
