Author(s): Ian Ayres

Biography / Memoir

A stunning memoir that not only explores Ian Ayres's rich, vibrant and complicated life as a teen pimp and hustler, but also features his previously unpublished experiences with luminary legends such as Tennessee Williams, Allen Ginsberg, Yoko Ono, Edumund White and Quentin Crisp. More than just a book, "Private Parts" is an experience of teen angst, hangovers for breakfast, and raw enlightenment tripping over that cliff's edge in the rye. It would not exist if Ayres were not a survivor. His crusty accounts of a boy's life on the wild side explores the extreme boundaries of human behaviour and amorality, offering a journey through his life from his early years in houses of ill repute to his expatriate life in Paris today.
