This is a guide to life in the club that nobody wants to join.
Nobody chooses to be bald. Nobody wants to look into the mirror and be confronted with an absence. Nobody gains any comfort from having a slightly better idea of what their skull looks like.
Stuart Heritage has been bald for two years. But before he accepted the inevitable, he spent a number of years ineptly trying to conceal this fact with an array of expensive treatments and terrible haircuts. Can a man go bald with dignity? Maybe. But can a man go bald with more dignity than Stuart Heritage? Oh good god yes, and this book is his attempt to make that happen for you.
Part-manual-part-tantrum, this is a self-deprecating, funny and genuinely helpful guide to being bald: what really happens, why it matters and how to feel much less crap about it.
Stuart Heritage is a writer and columnist for the Guardian, and has also written for Vanity Fair, Esquire, The Times, Men's Health, Elle, Cosmopolitan, Red, Marie Clare and the NME. He has also written for television, and is the author of several books, including Bedtime Stories for Worried Liberals and Don't be a Dick, Pete.
For two years running he was named as one of the 50 most influential emerging figures in the British media by Independent, an honour that has singularly failed to manifest itself into anything even slightly meaningful. He is also bald, as you may have deduced by now.
