'Here I am, a fucked, crazy, anorexic-alcoholic-childless, beautiful woman. But it is also a tale of hope and inspiration and Emin's relatively naïve approach, in contrast to what some feel is a more cynical approach to her art, makes her an endearing narrator. Not surprisingly, it is a raw and uncompromising read, dealing with depression, loneliness, sexual abuse and unwanted pregnancy. Oathed or adored but rarely ignored, Emin is the posterchild of the YBA (Young British Artists) originally championed by Charles Saatchi.
