'There is an honesty and a clarity in Joe Moran's book If You Should Fail that normalises and softens the usual blows of life that enables us to accept and live with them rather than be diminished/wounded by them' Julia Samuel, author of Grief Works and This Too Shall Pass 'Full of wise insight and honesty.

Moran manages to be funny, erudite and kindly: a rare - and compelling - combination.

This is the essential antidote to a culture obsessed with success.

Read it' Madeleine BuntingFailure is the small print in life's terms and conditions.

Covering everything from examination dreams to fourth-placed Olympians, If You Should Fail is about how modern life, in a world of self-advertised success, makes us feel like failures, frauds and imposters.

Widely acclaimed observer of daily life Joe Moran is here not to tell you that everything will be all right in the end, but to reassure you that failure is an occupational hazard of being human.

As Moran shows, even the supremely gifted Leonardo da Vinci could be seen as a failure.

Most artists, writers, sports stars and business people face failure.

We all will, and can learn how to live with it.

To echo Virginia Woolf, beauty "is only got by the failure to get it.

by facing what must be humiliation - the things one can't do.

"Combining philosophy, psychology, history and literature, Moran's ultimately upbeat reflections on being human, and his critique of how we live now, offers comfort, hope - and solace.

For we need to see that not every failure can be made into a success - and that's OK.

von Moran, Joe.

Nicholas Pileggi

Nicholas pileggi's vivid, unvarnished, journalistic chronicle of the life of henry hill—the working-class brooklyn kid who knew from age twelve that "to be a wiseguy was to own the world," who grew up to live the highs and lows of the mafia gangster's life—has been hailed as "the best book ever written on organized crime" (cosmopolitan).
