Paul Murphy

The book "Drug Hell" is a true story of the former drug addict, and criminal, Kimmo Harjula. His hell began when he was only seven years old. His parents were alcoholics, and he was continually beaten and sexually assaulted throughout his childhood. To survive, he began to sniff glue, smoke hash and drinking alcohol. His life became a crazy mess, filled with drugs and serious crime, which lasted for over thirty years. He was placed in forty-six foster homes before the age of eighteen and spent fourteen years in prison. He finally found a way out of his misery through therapy, and today, he is completely drug-free and works as a therapist to help other abuses become free of addiction.

Born into a traditional Welsh valley community, Paul Murphy has been a member of the Labour Party for more than 55 years. In this book, he describes how the socialist beliefs of that community, and of his parents especially, helped to develop his own very early political consciousness. After three years studying at Oxford, and alongside work as a lecturer in History and Government, he went on to serve on his local council before succeeding Leo Abse in 1987 as MP for his home constituency Torfaen. His time in government from 1997 onwards included seven years as Secretary of State for Wales and for Northern Ireland, in the Cabinets of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, and the book provides unique insights into Murphy’s leading role at times of major constitutional change, including the pivotal part he played as Northern Ireland Minister under Mo Mowlam in negotiating the Good Friday Agreement. - 'During the weeks leading up to the referendum, I travelled the length and breadth of Northern Ireland talking to local and regional newspapers, and presenting the case for a ‘Yes’ vote.'

Boken ”droghelvetet” är en sann berättelse om en f d, tung missbrukare, och ex grov kriminell kimmo harjula. Hans eget helvete började redan när han var sju år. Hans föräldrar var alkoholister och missbrukare, han blev kontinuerligt misshandlad och utnyttjad sexuellt redan i den åldern. För att överleva, började han sniffa lim, röka hasch och dricka alkohol. Hans liv fylldes med droger och kriminalitet, som varade ca 30 år. Han blev placerad i 46 olika fosterhem, och har suttit 14 år i olika fängelser. Han hittade slutligen vägen ur misären, och är i dag drogfri och utbildad terapeut. PAUL MURPHYHej kära medmänniskanDen här boken som du nu håller i din hand är en sann berättelse, om hur det är att växa upp i en familj där våldet och alkoholen styr hela tillvaron. Min tröst och räddning som ung barn var att hitta den fantastiska effekten i alkoholen och drogerna. Detta för att slippa känna denna enorma smärta som fanns inom familjen. Redan som ung började jag använda tunga droger som heroin. Men jag hittade vägen ur misären och överlevde. Min önskan är att med denna bokens hjälp få drogbrukaren förstå att det går att komma ur missbruket. Jag vill även så ett frö i de förtvivlade anhörigas hjärtan att det finns möjlighet att få hjälp. Om man bara har viljan, och tar emot den hjälp som finns. KIMMO HARJULA

"This is a book I wish I'd written. It's brilliantly researched, full of detail and illuminating…" —Jake Adelstein, author of Tokyo ViceUncover the shocking world of the Japanese courtroom. In a country where nearly all defendants plead guilty, the interesting part is what happens between the plea and the sentencing. In True Crime Japan, journalist and longtime resident of Japan Paul Murphy delves into a year's worth of criminal court cases in Matsumoto, a city located 140 miles to the west of Tokyo. The nine defendants in these cases range from ruthless mobsters to average citizens with a variety of methods and motives. Using court documents and interviews, Murphy makes a point of including the perspectives of the defendants, as well as those of their families, neighbors, and lawyers. He explores not only the motives of offenders but the culture of crime and punishment in Japan. The nine cases include:"Late in Life" — A wealthy octogenarian is put in jail for stealing fried chicken"Mama's Boys" — A disbelieving family unveils their son's role as a yakuza gangster." Mother Killers" — A middle-aged carpenter beats his 91-year old mother to death and goes to work the following day, leaving the body for his wife to find. True Crime Japan provides an unusual lens through which to view Japanese society and its emphasis on honor, shame, and conformity. Murphy's in-depth analysis of the court system reveals Japan to be, perhaps surprisingly, a land of true individuals.

Suffused with Norse mythology, Paul Murphy's play Valhalla depicts a world where the boundaries of scientific research and the endurance of human love are stretched to their limits. It was joint winner of the inaugural Theatre503 Playwriting Award, and premiered at Theatre503, London, in 2015.
