The true story of the predator who posed as a saviour
In 1996, at the age of fourteen, Richard Hall met a man who changed his life. Two and half decades later, he called the police. As a result, the man was jailed for twenty-two years.
I’m Fine is the horrifying true account of what came before the police: how a teenage boy who had been hounded at school because he was gay walked into an LGBT centre where he thought he would be safe. He couldn’t have been more wrong.
Hall recreates with unnerving frankness – and with surprising humour – the year in his childhood when the attention of older admirers went to his head, scarring him permanently.
Compellingly readable, I’m Fine is not just the intensely moving story of one mixed-up boy’s private hell. It also stands as a powerful cautionary tale about predators operating with the impunity conferred on them by ‘community’ status. It’s already getting major media attention.
The Polari Prize-winning author Diriye Osman calls I’m Fine ‘an incredibly powerful memoir’, adding: ‘The courage, fortitude and fire it takes to share a story of this magnitude is nothing short of miraculous.’
