The Cambridge social workers considered Stuart’s case a great success story as they more or less managed to turn him into a ’normal’ person: they provided him with a council flat so that he could finally live a regular life free from the strains of homelessness, and Stuart even stopped doing drugs.Īlexander (whom I will mention by his first name, as he also appears in the book as Alexander) wanted to dig deeper into Stuart’s story and find out where his life went off the tracks, so he decided to write his biography. Stuart was an ex-convict, a junkie and an alcoholic he suffered from borderline personality disorder and muscular dystrophy he was prone to self-mutilation and outbursts of anger and earlier he lived the chaotic life of a homeless man. Alexander Masters first met Stuart Shorter in Wintercomfort, a Cambridge institution for helping the homeless.
