Critics Review

‘Most startling of memoirs. Within two chapters I, too, was hooked … Fans of Edie Sedgwick, Cookie Mueller and Courtney Love will die for Down The Drain … I think I just accidentally landed on my book of the year’ Paul Flyn, Evening Standard

‘A gripping and powerful coming-of-age story that exposes the terrible repercussions of childhood neglect, society’s routine exploitation of the female body and the hollowness of celebrity’ Telegraph

‘Intense and compelling’ Sunday Times

‘A masterpiece’ Greg James, Radio 1

‘Fox’s willingness to be honest about what has happened to her and the shame she sometimes feels provides a sharp alternative to most survivor narratives that are publicized. She’s an artist who translates her relationships, her overdoses, and other near-death experiences into the art she makes’ Elizabeth Nicholas, The Cut

‘The story of a woman fighting to reclaim her narrative’ Cosmopolitan

‘Julia Fox is an iconoclast’ New Yorker
