Synopsis
THE TRUE STORY OF HOW ONE MAN OVERCAME HIS DEMONS AND UNLEASHED HIS CREATIVITY -- IN A FASCIST JAIL
It's 1972. William is a creative boy in a dead-end job, his dream of becoming an artist fading fast. So when his best friend hatches a plan to fund a year's painting in Morocco, William leaps at the chance.
The only problem is, first he has to get through Franco's fascist Spain with a suitcase of drugs.
Like most things in William's life, the plan goes wrong and he is thrown into the notorious Modelo jail in Barcelona. Abandoned by friends and family, unable to speak the language, surrounded by hardened criminals, lost hippies and brutal prison guards and with no idea when, if ever, he will be released, he quickly spirals into despair.
It is only when he begins to secretly draw his visions and nightmares that William starts to deal with his remorse and self-hatred. But it is the facing-up to long-repressed childhood memories of abuse, neglect and poverty that ultimately leads to his redemption ... and freedom.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. It's 1971. William is 19, he's working in a dead-end job at London Zoo, and his dreams of becoming an artist are fading fast he left school with no qualifications and he can't get a grant to study at Art College. He feels as trapped as the orang-utans he's meant to be looking after.So when his best friend and fellow aspiring artist 'Daisy' Dave hatches a plan to travel through Europe to Morocco to sell LSD to the burgeoning hippy community there, William leaps at the chance. How else will he ever realise his dream? It isn't long before things start to go wrong. Daisy Dave vanishes after a bad trip somewhere near Paris. Then, in Barcelona, William gets drunk, steals a moped, and beats up a policemen not a good idea in a Fascist state. He's thrown into the city's notorious Modelo jail, where he joins a mix of hardened criminals and hippies like him. Hopes of a quick release are dashed when it turns out the policeman has suffered serious head injuries, and William must reconcile himself to a long captivity. Tormented by remorse and self-hatred, and treated like an animal by the brutal prison guards, he spirals rapidly into depression. Only two things help: Mike, his American cell-mate, a cannabis-dealing Zen master who has been in Modelo so long that most of his teeth have fallen out; and the sketch book in which he obsessively records the visions and nightmares and the long-repressed memories that swirl inside his head.
