A revealing examination of the dysfunctional songwriting partnership at the heart of one of Britain's most unpredictable and controversial contemporary rock 'n' roll bands, Sweating Tears with Fat White Family  features candid interviews by author Adelle Stripe with Fat White Family singer Lias Saoudi and guitarist Saul Adamczewski. From childhood traumas to adult squalor and critical success, it is a tale of bitterness, humour, excess, cruelty, and the vile affections that bind this exceptional pairing on their continued Orphean descent into the underworld. This exclusive edition features demonic engravings by printmaker Lisa Cradduck, inspired by Berber folklore and the grotesque 16th century drolleries of Richard Breton.

ADELLE STRIPE was born in 1976 and grew up in Tadcaster. Her debut novel, Black Teeth and a Brilliant Smile, is based on the life of playwright Andrea Dunbar. It received the Society of Authors' K Blundell Award for Fiction and was shortlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize. Adelle is a founding member of the Brutalist Poets and has published three poetry collections. Her journalism has appeared in The Quietus, Caught by the River, and New Statesman. In a previous life she worked as a chatline hostess, window dresser, and was the manager of Selfish Cunt. Her recent publications include Common People: An Anthology of Working-Class Writers, and an essay in the forthcoming Excavate: The Wonderful and Frightening World of The Fall.
