A smuggler and a deserter, Darran Anderson’s grandfathers skirted the fringes of legality. Darran’s father survived the height of the political violence in Northern Ireland and Darran came of age during the final years of the Troubles. His memoir, Inventory is a portrait of a city, a biography of a family, a record of the objects that make up a life. Tony Doherty’s The Skelper and Me is no ordinary memoir. From a compelling story of prison life, and the effects of his choices when released, it epitomises the old adage that `if you didn't laugh you'd cry,’
