“A Bill Bryson with Sex, Drugs and Rock ‘n Roll”
Ibiza,
playground of the rich and very rich and Utopia for young holidaying Brits., is the backdrop for this refreshingly
candid and humorous account of some of
Timmi’s experiences whilst working - and playing - on this iniquitous island.
Taken from emails he exchanged with a
friend, it is a cross between a travelogue and a memoire, and affords a
privileged, and at times quite hilarious, glimpse behind the scenes of the
fascinating world of porn, glamour and celebrities. Superbly compiled and narrated with ready wit
and quick-flash asides, his vividly described characters almost leap off the
pages, bringing with them all the glitz, bling, boas, feathers , fun and
frolics of a different world as he discloses his slant on life in the fast
lane. It’s a peek behind closed curtains, bringing a fresh perspective to the
gay/porno scene, and one cannot help but warm to this writer with his frank and
genuine reactions to some of the situations in which he finds himself. This is
a colourful, stimulating read containing not only the author’s delightfully
naughty sense of humour, but touches of pathos, together with some quite poetically
beautiful scenic descriptions.
Timmi
pulls no punches, and “Letter from Ibiza” is one of the most entertaining
and amusing reads currently around.
High, highly recommended, this book is not to be missed; and this writer one to definitely look out
for in the future. We will be seeing a
lot more of him. WATCH OUT!
