The World of Gaylord St. James

Gaylord St. James

The memoirs of a life lived in the spotlight

 

You lucky people: here, at long last, is the intimate and revelatory memoir of a true movie star. From the heady fame of my appearance in the 1972 cult horror 'Last House on the Left' (where my screen wife bites off a man's knob), to my sad decline in the 1980s and the mature reflection of the 1990s, what follows is an account of my extraordinary life: sometimes tragic, sometimes desperate, often bitter, this is the world through my eyes. The World of Gaylord St. James.

Not even Derek and Clive would dare stoop to this level of filth... the boring f**king c**nt's.
Absolutely brilliant.

Backed and starred,

It's hilarious. I assume this wasn't written by the actor himself, Richard Towers?

Absolutely hilarious - Trevor MacDonald; potato shapes; torrents of shit; strangling children (infanticide is definitely my theme for today!). Ronnie Corbett's choice of charities made me laugh. This defies any sort of review, and it should really be in print. Minus the many libels..! Delighted with this, all the best to you

Fuck, this hits you like a brick, and then you realise you enjoyed it!! I had to google you half way through reading it to be certain you existed and this wasn't some master stroke of genious writing!! Thanks for the wake-up, hope life is more sorted, settled, and as crazy as you are comfortable with.
all the best

Funny you should say that Michael... http://www.theworldofgaylordstjames.blogspot.com/

this really is some funny shit, of course no publisher will ever print this but if it were a blog I imagine people would read it to see what gaylords been up to that day and what he thinks of everything and so on. andyway, its on the shelf, cya

I just had to put this on the 'Recommend a Manuscript' page.

I laughed my socks off. This tongue- in- cheek biog is outrageous, a bit queezy in it's obsession with fecal matter. Brilliantly written and oh, so funny. I lost count of the accidental deaths left lying around. I felt quite sorry for Gaylord, it must have been incredibly hard to go from hero to zero...a Bristol council estate...yuk shelved

Excruciatingly funny. Shelved.

Way over the line. A "Naked Lunch" for the late night crowd. Against all better judgement, I'm backing it.

In the words of Denis Leary – I think I smell a lawsuit in that one…

Fabulous, ridiculous, wonderful, insane stuff. And very, very funny. There must be a way for this to be slid past the lawyers and into bookshops.

I want this book in the top 5. I want to see the HC editors’ comments. Oh, how I do.

TKJ - How To Kill Your Housemates

You're a wicked, wicked dangerous lunatic, Mr. St. James. Long before I arrived at the pint of Cointreau I knew I would back this book ... though I do think you might dial down the digestive mishaps just a bit. Movie stars are given to extreme behavior, but this level and frequency of gastrointestinal disaster kind of strains credulity.

Other than that, bless you Mr. St. James. I hope this book will come with lots and lots of photos. Do you know 'My Royal Past' by Cecil Beaton? I think you might like it.

Okay, I don't condone misogyny/racism etc - but if it's expressed by a character in a book, we just get a better picture of the character in question; the character or 'voice' might have good reason for his own seething hatred. Also, there's a pint too much poo in this. Nevertheless, this tragicomedy is the real thing: Fearless, spit-in-your eye writing - about a miserable human being in a horrible situation. As ugly as life can get - yet with the dignity of a true artist. The amazing thing is, a lot of the events expressed in it may be true! Anyway - it is often hilarious - in a nightmare version of Grumpy Old Men way. Yes, I'll be the first that backs it. Note: classified ADULT, so don't read it if you're easily offended.
