The first insider account of what life inside British care homes is really like, written with humour and poignancy, for fans of This Is Going To Hurt and The Language of Kindness' From fearless and funny to heart-stoppingly raw' Evening StandardHome is where the care is. Whether he' s initiating a coup d' etat against new regulations with the residents, or forging a bond with the 98-year old who once called him a fat slut, Pope Lonergan work is infinitely varied. This no-holds-barred account shows what life inside a care home is really like, for both residents and carers. Featuring night-time drama, incontinence pads and the uniquely dark humour of one double-amputee Alzheimer' s patient, here you can learn everything you ever wanted to know (and a few things you probably really didn' t) about Britain' s care system. This important memoir challenges us all to think differently about the value of our elderly, and also the carers who look after them.
Pope Lonergan is always very funny even when dealing with the most serious subject matter -- David Baddiel Pope is such a kind, funny and erudite guide through a world many of us ignore. I hope people read the book. It can' t possibly be what they think. It is exceptional * Andrew Hankinson * Darkly comic, crushingly funny and impossibly uplifting. It makes you want to call every elder in your life and hold on to a piece of them while you still can. A triumph * Desiree Burch *
Pope Lonergan is a stand-up comedian, Quaker and (recovering) drug addict. He is also a care assistant. I' ll Die After Bingo is his tough yet hilarious, intelligent and honest account of 9 years spent caring for the elderly.
