TRUTHS, HALF TRUTHS AND LITTLE WHITE LIES

“IF YOU’RE going to tell the story of a life, my life, tell it warts and all,” says Nick Frost. He’s the actor and writerwriter whowho often works with Simon Pegg. This is the sort of autobiography you often wish for but hardly ever find. Frost connects us to his life. He’s from Essex. His father ran an office furniture company. Frost describes a row between his parents. “At its height,” he says, “Dad, so frustrated by my mum’s drunken belligerence, punched his fist through a door, breaking it badly (both fist and door).” But he loves them, which comes through. Real life, well told.
