He Died With a Felafel in His Hand - E-book - ePub

Here for the first time is the full horror and madness of sharing a house, told by someone who's been there. Birmingham pulls no punches: from dead rats in the kitchen to tent-dwelling lodgers in the living room, you'll run for the safety of living alone. 'A rat died in the living room at King Street and we didn't know. There was at least six inches of compacted rubbish between our feet and the floor.
Old Ratty must have crawled in there and died of pleasure. A visitor uncovered him while groping around for a beer.' Tales of debauchery, drugs, flatmates from hell and nasty things lurking in the kitchen sink abound in Rolling Stone journalist John Birmingham's hilarious account of sharing houses in Melbourne and Brisbane. He Died with a Felafel in His Hand makes Withnail & I look like a lesson in clean living.
