As far back as anyone can remember Guy has been an introverted creature, with an insatiable appetite for knowledge, and a dark sense of humour. Throughout a childhood in London spent watching cold war propaganda gems such as He Man, an adolescence confined in various institutions, and a career that has encompassed stints in academic research and the sports industry, Guy has been a keen if somewhat cynical social observer. Humour of the sardonic variety is a recurring theme in Guy’s writing.
