Grayson Perry’s early graphic novel, first published in 1992, ‘a still-seething cauldron of anger, self-doubt and sado-masochism. This book is a glimpse into the psyche of my pre-therapy self, before I became “happy”’. Perhaps even stranger than Perry’s narrative of cycling, bondage and psychotherapy, is his unnervingly prescient choice of name for the protagonist who goes on to conquer his demons and win the Tour de France; Bradley Gaines.
