Feathers has had a brilliant career, from his early days as a

lawyer in Southeast Asia, where he earned the nickname Old

Filth (FILTH being an acronym for Failed In London Try Hong

wounds of a difficult and emotionally hollow childhood. Now an

musings, Feathers approaches a reckoning with his own

history. Not all the old filth, it seems, can be cleaned
