Product Information

He talks about everything from what it was to have the cameras etc follow him around both before and just after what was suppose to be a life-alternating surgery, his relationship with his grandmother in the UK and his grandfather in the USA, what it meant for him to have to change school because the place that he gotten into wouldn't accommodate his needs, to coming to the slow realization that he's not just disabled, he's gay. This 60-minute documentary follows the eye-opening journey of TV presenter, AIDY SMITH, as he embarks on the journey of his own diagnosis. The writing is consistent, heartbreaking and gripping and I found myself completely hooked from the first few pages.

Viking has landed debut author Emmett de Monterey’s “beautiful, powerful” memoir Go the Way Your Blood Beats following an exclusive submission. Facing rejection from his peers at that pivotal time in his life led Emmett to hope he would find greater acceptance in the gay community – but his early experiences in gay bars and queer venues left him feeling more alienated than ever.

Wall said: “This is an extraordinarily moving and original British memoir that reminded me of books by Jeanette Winterson, Cathy Rentzenbrink and Sathnam Sanghera. The microaggressions de Monterey describes make you realise just how devastating an impact these seemingly minor comments or actions can have, whether they are intentional or not. The publisher explained: “When Emmett de Monterey is 18 months old, a doctor diagnoses him with cerebral palsy.From navigating infidelity, divorce, unhappy relationships, mental and emotional breakdowns, going back to bed, losing friends on the way, the discomfort of mid-life and what it really means to be neurodivergent in the world.

Much of the book’s emotional weight comes from the way in which the world built in the family home, or with friends and peers, is constantly thrown up against reductive and violent language from outside institutions: the medical establishment, the education system, the church, members of the public who stare or infantilise. There's an immediacy to the prose that sweeps you up in his story, and makes Go the Way Your Blood Beats a really engaging, emotive read. My son also was bullied because he was quieter, sensitive and not sporty but did not tell us so came out of school with a stammer and a stoop. In conclusion, this is a deeply moving and thought-provoking memoir that explores the intersections of disability and sexuality.With liberal artist parents what em faces is a life with problems many would not consider, but his strength and determination sees him building a better future. In wonderfully fluid prose, de Monterey charts his childhood through friendships, medical appointments, schools and first love.
