Down the Drain

De: Julia Fox

Narrado por: Julia Fox

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The hotly anticipated book from “one of the all-time pop-culture greats” (New York magazine) that chronicles her shocking life and unyielding determination to not only survive but achieve her dreams.

Julia Fox is famous for many things: her captivating acting, such as her breakout role in the film Uncut Gems; her trendsetting style, including bleached eyebrows, exaggerated eyeshadow, and cutout dresses; her mastery of social media, where she entertains and educates her millions of followers. But all these share the trait for which she is most famous: unabashedly and unapologetically being herself.

This commitment to authenticity has never been more on display than in Down the Drain. With writing that is both eloquent and accessible, Fox recounts her turbulent path to cultural supremacy: her parents’ volatile relationship that divided her childhood between Italy and New York City and left her largely raising herself; a possessive and abusive drug-dealing boyfriend whose torment continued even from within Rikers Island; her own trips to jail as well as to a psychiatric hospital; her work as a dominatrix that led to a complicated entanglement with a sugar daddy; a heroin habit that led to New Orleans trap houses and that she would kick only after the fatal overdose of her best friend; her own near-lethal overdoses and the deaths of still more friends from drugs and suicide; an emotionally explosive, tabloid-dominating romance with a figure she dubs “The Artist”; a whirlwind, short-lived marriage and her trials as a single parent striving to support her young son. Yet as extraordinary as her story is, its universality is what makes it so powerful. Fox doesn’t just capture her improbable evolution from grade-school outcast to fashion-world icon, she captures her transition from girlhood to womanhood to motherhood. Family and friendship, sex and death, violence and love, money and power, innocence and experience—it’s all here, in raw, remarkable, and riveting detail.

More than a year before the book’s publication, Fox’s description of it as “a masterpiece” in a red carpet interview went viral. As always, she was just being honest. Down the Drain is a true literary achievement, as one-of-a-kind as its author.

Incredible

One of the best memoirs I’ve ever read. I went into it kind of blind and I’m so impressed.

The story about child, neglect. Abuse, drug addiction, sexual abuse, and survival child, neglect. Abuse, drug addiction, sexual abuse, and survival loss and pain. How she turned it all into inner strength to make something of her self

Messy yet eloquent

This book is pretty amazing. She writes very well and gives ode to her friends that have passed in an amazing way. She speaks of addiction, r*pe, and survival. An amazing story.

Just read it. Her life story is wilder and more beautiful than any fictional version could be.

Very engaging and at times emotionally challenging . This is a beautifully written book full of teen IT girl angst and generational woes.

Her inner thoughts throughout telling a story.

Amazing

Amazing! Best book ever! Julia tells every detail & doesn’t hold back. I will read it again. Loved it.

I didn’t expect to love it!

Very honest bio about someone I knew nothing about. It was more like Glass Castle than a traditional autobiography, which is intended to be a compliment. Worth listening to.
