A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The hotly anticipated book from “one of the all-time pop-culture greats” (New York magazine) that chronicles her shocking life and unyielding determination to not only survive but achieve her dreams.


Julia Fox is famous for many things: her captivating acting, such as her breakout role in the film Uncut Gems; her trendsetting style, including bleached eyebrows, exaggerated eyeshadow, and cutout dresses; her mastery of social media, where she entertains and educates her millions of followers. But all these share the trait for which she is most famous: unabashedly and unapologetically being herself.

This commitment to authenticity has never been more on display than in Down the Drain. With writing that is both eloquent and accessible, Fox recounts her turbulent path to cultural supremacy: her parents’ volatile relationship that divided her childhood between Italy and New York City and left her largely raising herself; a possessive and abusive drug-dealing boyfriend whose torment continued even from within Rikers Island; her own trips to jail as well as to a psychiatric hospital; her work as a dominatrix that led to a complicated entanglement with a sugar daddy; a heroin habit that led to New Orleans trap houses and that she would kick only after the fatal overdose of her best friend; her own near-lethal overdoses and the deaths of still more friends from drugs and suicide; an emotionally explosive, tabloid-dominating romance with a figure she dubs “The Artist”; a whirlwind, short-lived marriage and her trials as a single parent striving to support her young son. Yet as extraordinary as her story is, its universality is what makes it so powerful. Fox doesn’t just capture her improbable evolution from grade-school outcast to fashion-world icon, she captures her transition from girlhood to womanhood to motherhood. Family and friendship, sex and death, violence and love, money and power, innocence and experience—it’s all here, in raw, remarkable, and riveting detail.

More than a year before the book’s publication, Fox’s description of it as “a masterpiece” in a red carpet interview went viral. As always, she was just being honest. Down the Drain is a true literary achievement, as one-of-a-kind as its author.

Just read it. you won't be able to put it down! In addition to the gripping story, for me as a European it was so fascinating to hear about the New York underbelly of the early 2000'.

The most boring thing she ever did was date Kanye

Spannend, schockierend, tragisch, authentisch und wunderbar erzählt! Genial! Die Geschichte ist so fesselnd, dass man gar nicht aufhören möchte zu hören.
Ebenso spanned ist das hinter die Kulissen schauen über die Party Szene in New York!

Listened to it in 2 days. Just couldn’t put it down. Poetic, real, honest and empowering. Julia reads the story herself and it makes it even more authentic.

She reveals her ugliest moments, behaviors, thoughts, which is just so relatable. A story of a girl finding herself and becoming empowered and also a story of friendship. Fully recommend the listen.

Loved the book, so honest, real, dark and beautiful at the same time
