{"product_id":"9781782112440","title":"Young Winstone","description":"Ray Winstone's amazing talent for bringing out the humanity buried inside his often brutal screen characters - violent offender in Scum, wife-beater in Nil by Mouth, retired blagger in Sexy Beast - has made him one of the most charismatic screen actors of his generation. But how do these uncompromising and often haunting performances square with his off-duty reputation as the ultimate salt-of-the-earth diamond geezer?   The answer lies in the East End of his youth. Revisiting the bomb-sites and boozers of his childhood and adolescence, Ray Winstone takes the reader on an unforgettable tour of a cockney heartland which is at once irresistibly mythic and undeniably real. Told with its author's trademark blend of brutal directness and roguish wit, Young Winstone is a fascinating social history of East London, as well as a school of hard knocks coming-of-age story with a powerful emotional punch.","brand":"Canongate Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47301044076784,"sku":"9781782112440","price":12.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781782112440_p0.jpg?v=1769891354","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781782112440","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
