Liam Mullone

Robbed by a stripper and forced to spend five weeks in the desert outside Las Vegas, Liam Mullone was left with only a clapped-out van, a bag of pork chops, and his thoughts. Oppressed by heat, hunger, homicidal maniacs and policemen, he determined to find the meaning of life before his new bank cards arrived. Mullone tells how he survived near-starvation, desert maniacs, self-loathing and the world’s worst paperback, with the panache that made him a valued writer (BBC Radio’s Now Show, Milk Run).
