Description

The hotly anticipated book from 'one of the all-time pop-culture greats' (New York magazine) that chronicles her shocking life and unyielding determination to not only survive but achieve her dreams.'Intense and compelling' SUNDAY TIMES'A gripping and powerful coming-of-age story' TELEGRAPH'A masterpiece' GREG JAMES, BBC RADIO 1Julia Fox is famous for many things: her captivating acting, such as her breakout role in the film Uncut Gems; her trendsetting style, including bleached eyebrows, exaggerated eyeshadow and cutout dresses; her mastery of social media.

But all these share the trait for which she is most famous: unabashedly and unapologetically being herself.This commitment to authenticity has never been more on display than in Down the Drain.

Fox recounts her turbulent path to cultural supremacy: her parents' volatile relationship that divided her childhood between Italy and New York City and left her largely raising herself; a possessive and abusive drug-dealing boyfriend whose torment continued even from within Rikers Island; her own trips to jail as well as to a psychiatric hospital; her work as a dominatrix that led to a complicated entanglement with a sugar daddy; a heroin habit that led to New Orleans trap houses and that she would kick only after the fatal overdose of her best friend; her own near-lethal overdoses and the deaths of still more friends from drugs and suicide; an emotionally explosive, tabloid-dominating romance with a figure she dubs "The Artist"; a whirlwind, short-lived marriage and her trials as a single parent striving to support her young son.Yet as extraordinary as her story is, its universality is what makes it so powerful.

Fox doesn't just capture her evolution from grade-school outcast to fashion-world icon, she captures her transition from girlhood to womanhood to motherhood.

Family and friendship, sex and death, violence and love, money and power, innocence and experience-it's all here, in raw, remarkable and riveting detail.More than a year before the book's publication, Fox's description of it as "a masterpiece" in a red carpet interview went viral.

As always, she was just being honest. Down the Drain is a true literary achievement, as one-of-a-kind as its author.
