商品簡介
A follow-up memoir to Paul Ferris' acclaimed The Boy on the Shed. This is not a sports book. It is a memoir about a true sportsman's survival from the most acute health problems.
Paul Ferris says: “I have tried to be as honest as I could in documenting the last few years I've spent dealing with prostate cancer. I hope that journey makes for a very interesting read. It is brutal, raw, honest and I think funny in places as well. I think it represents rare male honesty. To tell this story, took all of the courage that I possess. Prostate cancer is the second biggest killer of men in the UK. It is also one of the least understood cancers. This book will certainly alleviate some of that misunderstanding. It is not a ‘poor me' book. Rather, it is simply an account of an ordinary man suffering from cancer, while experiencing the extraordinary success of becoming a published author . . . I believe anyone who purchased and enjoyed The Boy on the Shed, will appreciate The Magic in the Tin. Together, they tell my whole story.”
The text is a most remarkable achievement, beautifully written and not in any way self-pitying. It shows a positive viewpoint throughout and the final third is full of promise and humour.
