There were people everywhere. His eyes swept over the shelves and stabilised on a large stack of Pepsi-colas. He could almost experience the cool fizzy liquid descending his parched throat.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten by June-Alison Gibbons when she was only 16, \u003ci\u003eThe Pepsi Cola Addict\u003c\/i\u003e is considered one of the great works of twentieth-century outsider literature. More than just a literary curiosity, however, this tale of a teenager whose passion for a well-known cola drink threatens to ruin his life is the uniquely vivid expression of a young woman trying to make sense of the confusing, often brutal world she in which found herself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished in 1982 by a vanity press who took £800 from its young author and gave her only a single book in return, it''s thought that fewer than ten original copies still exist in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShortly after its publication, June-Alison and her sister Jennifer would become infamous as \"The Silent Twins\" and find themselves cruelly incarcerated for over a decade in Broadmoor Hospital. This author-approved edition makes June-Alison Gibbon''s remarkable vision widely available for the first time.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57405547938174,"sku":"NW9781913689711","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781913689711.jpg?v=1778683423","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/pepsi-cola-addict","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
