Featherhood by Charlie Gilmour review: a moving and spiky memoir
Featherhood in which everything starts to unlock.The bizarre gift from Heathcote Williams, the writer and anarchist, threatens to ignite the “residual flame” of an anger that caused a 21-year old Gilmour to scale the real monument during a protest over tuition fees in 2010. The adopted son of Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour served four months in prison for violent disorder.The incident itself is whipped through in a dizzying, hectic violence that explodes halfway through a book that until then is mostly thoughtful, even sweet.
