I Knew I was Right

More about the book

The remarkable manifesto of a gifted journalist and self-proclaimed egotist. Drugs, men, and women: Julie Burchill leaves nothing unexamined. She embraces life's unpredictability, diving headfirst into experiences that lead to a dazzling career as a publicist at a young age, eventually becoming the queen of the Bohemian circle at the Groucho Club. Two decades filled with scandals and successes provide the material for a provocative and highly entertaining autobiography. Born in Bristol in 1959, Burchill moved to London at 17 and began her journalistic career at the New Musical Express. She soon contributed to publications such as Face, the Sunday Times, and The Guardian. In addition to her journalism, she has authored several novels, non-fiction works, and plays. Today, Julie Burchill resides in Brighton.
