À propos de cet audio

A funny, insightful memoir by much-loved documentary maker Louis Theroux, taking us on a weird and wonderful journey through two decades of groundbreaking television.

In 1994, fledgling journalist Louis Theroux was given a one-off gig on Michael Moore’s TV Nation, presenting a segment on apocalyptic religious sects. Gawky, socially awkward and totally unqualified, his first reaction to this exciting opportunity was panic. But he’d always been drawn to offbeat characters, so maybe his enthusiasm would carry the day. Or, you know, maybe it wouldn’t.

In his audiobook, Louis takes the listener on a joyous journey through his life and unexpectedly successful career. Nervously accepting the BBC’s offer of his own series, he went on to create an award-winning documentary style that has seen him immersed in worlds as diverse as racist US militias and secretive pro wrestlers, the violent gangs of Johannesburg and extreme drinkers in London.

Arguably his biggest challenge was corralling celebrities in his When Louis Met series, with Jimmy Savile proving most elusive. Blindsided when the revelations about Savile came to light, Louis was to reflect again on the nature of evil he had spent decades uncovering.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"If you are a fan of Louis Theroux's self-deprecating humour and relaxed broadcasting style, you will enjoy this honest and soul-searching account of his life so far." (Sunday Express)

I'm a Theroux fan and have been for years but since I've been away from the U.K for a long time I've lost touch with a lot of his more recent work. This book was a great review of his early years and his path to becoming a big name in documentaries. it's a bit heavy on the Saville stuff ( and if you're not from the U.K you probably don't even know who that creep was ) but even so I really enjoy the content of the book and the pace of the reading. That's Theroux's thing though, you feel like it's just some breezy light hearted thing he's talking about but there's a lot more too it under the surface. A great audiobook imho.
