In a scene popular chiefly among working-class African-Americans and Latinos, Moby - a poor, skinny, white Christian, vegan and teetotaller - looked like he would never make it. By the late nineties, contemplating the end of his music career, he released what he assumed would be his swansong, \u003ci\u003ePlay\u003c\/i\u003e, which went on to become a multi-million-selling album, opening up an astonishing new phase in his life. \u003ci\u003ePorcelain\u003c\/i\u003e is an unfailingly honest, funny and brilliantly written memoir about making it, losing it, loving it, hating it and everything in between.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56291395469685,"sku":"9780571321490","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780571321490_32e97d0b-7e57-4f77-a29c-7b2672568b85.jpg?v=1786014838"},{"product_id":"9780571339419","title":"Then It Fell Apart","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e*Featured in The Times' 'Best Books of the Year So Far'*\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat do you do when you realise you have everything you think you've ever wanted but still feel completely empty?

But despite the accolades from fans, the popularity of his records, and the positivity he’d brought to the punk music scene, none of this success gave Ray joy. He felt stagnant, and he yearned for something more.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This, along with his father’s untimely death, led him to abruptly quit the band and buy a one-way ticket to India in pursuit of the answers to life’s great mysteries. Living as a monk in the sacred city of Vrindavan and traveling across the country on a series of train trips, Ray embraced the rich, spiritual culture he discovered there.
