Clayton is the former “Soho Stories” columnist for The London Paper (which was based on the Soho designer menswear store, Dirty White Boy, which he ran with his partner, Jorge Betancourt). His first book, 'Dirty White Boy: Tales of Soho', was published in October 2008. The book was named the GT Book of the Year (2009). Reviews compared it to the diaries of Samuel Pepys, Virginia Woolf and Christopher Isherwood’s Berlin Stories and it was endorsed by celebrities such as Sir Elton John, Stephen Fry, Holly Johnson and Sebastian Horsley. In April 2009 Clayton turned the book into a play. It premiered at the Trafalgar Studios in London's West End and starred Clayton and the actor David Benson. It sold out. The play returned a year later for an extended run receiving reviews from, among others, Nicholas de Jongh and Paul Gambaccini. Now Clayton’s written a sequel, Goodbye to Soho. ADVANCED PRAISE FOR GOODBYE TO SOHO ‘Clayton has been seduced by Soho's sleazy magic and through him so are we.‘ — Marc Almond ‘As scurrilous and entertaining as ever.’ —Rupert Smith (Man’s World) ‘Like Isherwood's Berlin, Littlewood's Soho comes to life right off the page.’ —Jonathan Kemp (London Triptych) "A frank, funny and moving read.'—GT Magazine 'Enchanting and addictive...earthy, scurrilous and never dull.'—West End Extra 'That dirty old whore Soho has no better pimp than Clayton Littlewood.' —Tim Fountain (Resident Alien) “Beautifully composed vignettes...observed by a ravenous, compassionate, amused voyeur of the first rank.” —Nicholas de Jongh (Plague Over England) ‘Downright Dickensian...not simply a good writer but a great writer.’ —Polari Magazine ‘Clayton captures the beggar’s humanity and the hooker’s humour with warmth that can bring a lump to the throat or leave one roaring with laughter.’ Stewart Who? (Twisted) PRAISE FOR DIRTY WHITE BOY: TALES OF SOHO “Touching, funny and poignant.” —Sir Elton John “Funny, perceptive, sexy, exquisitely observed.” —Stephen Fry “Clayton Littlewood’s book is tender, warm and full of humanity.” —New Statesman (London) “A collection of witty and piquant vignettes.”—The London Paper “His novel truly shines.” —Gay Times (Book of the Year 2009) “Downright hysterical.” —QX magazine (London) “Clayton’s genuine interest in the people he writes about makes Dirty White Boy such a compelling read.” —Polari Magazine “A sense of historic Soho (Rimbaud and Verlaine, Quentin Crisp) percolates through the book.” —One80 magazine “Original anecdotes and real-life stories told with a Hogarthian incisiveness—a sort of unofficial tourist guide evoking a vivid portrait of an area that is like no other.” —West End Extra (London) “His book is not sensationalist, but neither does it shrink from airing dirty laundry: he is not writing for the tourists. ... Dirty White Boy is a warts ’n’ all year of seedy beauty, faded glamour and real danger. ... It is honest writing without preconceptions. Clayton stayed true to himself, and so his book stays true to Soho.” —reFresh magazine (London) “As evocative in its own way as Isherwood’s take on that other sin bin, the Berlin of the 1920s ... Probably the best book about one section of Soho life ... A twenty-first-century love story to Soho.” —The Soho Society (London)
