A memoir of standing up tall against the odds Australian voice-over artist Lofty Fulton understands what it’s prefer to have the odds stacked against him: Born with achondroplasia, which is a form of dwarfism, his grandmother thought he should be locked away from the world. At school, he suffered years of relentless bullying, believing the lie he’d never be loved or sufficient.

At 15, Lofty’s tone of voice broke, giving him a distinctive present that paved just how for his future.

LOFTY: MY ENTIRE LIFE IN SHORT is a deeply personal memoir – of vulnerability and courage and humour as Lofty unpacks the events of his traumatic years as a child, public bigotry; a failed marriage, the highs and lows of an effective radio profession and his struggles with crippling general anxiety disorder, clinical melancholy and a significant gambling addiction.

Lofty’s story is a collusion of light and shade; a reflection on what this means to be human, to find indicating and purpose. From brokenness to discovery, Lofty offers slayed a lot of his internal demons, rising to become one of Australia’s most popular and recognisable voices.
