Brian Cox
Putting the Rabbit in the Hat
My Autobiography
Quercus, London / UK, 2021
"The long-awaited memoir by movie and theatre legend, Brian Cox.
From Titus Andronicus with the RSC to media magnate Logan Roy in HBO’s Succession,
Brian Cox has made his name as an actor of unparalleled distinction and
versatility. We know him on screen, but few know of his extraordinary
life story.
Growing up in Dundee, Scotland, Cox lost his father when he was just
eight years old and was brought up by his three elder sisters in the
aftermath of his mother’s nervous breakdowns and ultimate
hospitalization. After joining the Dundee Repertory Theatre at the age
of fifteen, you could say the rest is history – but that is to overlook
the enormous graft that has gone into the making of the legend we know
today.
This is a rags-to-riches life story like no other – a seminal
autobiography that both captures Cox’s distinctive voice and his very
soul. Rich in emotion and meaning, with plenty of laughs along the way,
it will be a classic in the vein of The Moon’s a Balloon by David Niven and What’s It All About by Michael Caine." (quercusbooks.co.uk)
