Urban Grimshaw and the Shed Crew
Urban Grimshaw and the Shed Crew is a non-fiction book by English writer Bernard Hare. It is an account of Britain's dispossessed youth and inner city wastelands.
Hare was on society's margins, living on a rough estate in Leeds, England and with a liking for drink and drugs – so he knew what life in the underclass was like in 1990s Britain. However, even he was shocked when he met Urban Grimshaw, an illiterate, drug-using 12-year-old.
"If it's one of the functions of art to take you places and show you things you wouldn't otherwise have access to, then Urban Grimshaw is a masterpiece."[1]
A British drama film, Urban and the Shed Crew starring Richard Armitage and Anna Friel is to be released.

gollark: So it turns out 0 is a null pointer, so I set it to 1 to be safe, and made it idiomatic C (no warnings, too!) by using "uintptr_t".
gollark: Hm. Weird.
