Description
Lifelong socialist and comedy legend Alexei Sayle reflects on his life on the Left through a history of key marches over the past seven decades, and asks what we can learn from
protest and standing up to power.
Known for his distinctly mordant, no-holds-barred approach to comedy, lifelong socialist Alexei Sayle finally opens up about his life on the political Left.
Covering key political moments over the past seven decades, Sayle explores – in his own inimitable dark, absurd and surrealist way – what it means to be left and what being left can offer the world.
Part memoir, part social history, part soapbox, How I’ve Tried to Change the World is a timely, powerful and hilarious book from one of our most beloved comedians.
