UK comedian, actor, and writer Richard Ayoade has written a blurb for Graham Linehan's new memoir. The memoir concerns his life in the TV writing world and losing 'everything' due to his obsessive anti-trans bigotry. Ayoade had previously starred in The IT Crowd written by Linehan. A transphobic episode of this show was what started Linehan's spiral into incessant transphobia and loserdom.
Linehan was once known for TV writing and is now known for being the most or second-most divorced man in the world.
Ayoade says of Linehan's book: 'Graham Linehan has long been one of my favourite writers - and this book shows that his brilliance in prose is equal to his brilliance as a screenwriter. It unfolds with the urgency of a Sam Fuller film: that of a man who has been through something that few have experienced by has managed to return, undaunted, to tell us the tale'
