Ever wondered what goes through the mind of some men and why we sometimes do the things we do? Described as ‘Adrian Mole’ meets ‘Bridget Jones’, ‘The Icarus Complex’ is a love, sorry and goodbye letter to that ‘one, or those who got away’ from the perspective of a black male trying to navigate life in the UK and is equally a candid, reflective, humorous, but undoubtedly honest, heartbreaking and never before told account about the high and lows of relationships, suppressing / dealing with emotion and the pitfalls of having too much pride.
