{"product_id":"9781782112433-secondhand-young-winstone","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 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  offers 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":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49047320854747,"sku":"9781782112433-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/6664c4f7-c1ad-4066-8237-9d372917a912.jpg?v=1785418246","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781782112433-secondhand-young-winstone","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
