DNF @100 pages - this woman was 11 when a 27 year old tried to have sex with her and from then on it was statutory rape after statutory rape - just can’t read about it in such a blasé way (author doesn’t address the pedophilia) - there’s also drugs, abuse, crimes etc - full on. I am completely shocked at how much I genuinely loved this memoir. It's extremely fast paced, messy, gross, chaotic, explicit, gritty, dark, sometimes comedic and very vulnerable. I was a casual follower of Julia Fox prior to diving into this and now I'm really intrigued to see what she has in store for the future. I found her narration of the audiobook to be so, so, so captivating and entertaining that I would highly recommend consuming the book via audio if you have the option! I would strongly suggest checking TW's, however, as I was really taken aback by how heavy this book gets. Though much of it might be expected from Julia, I was both impressed and surprised by how raw some depictions of drug use, domestic violence, sexual abuse, etc. are portrayed all throughout. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:The hotly anticipated book from "one of the all-time pop-culture greats" (New York magazine) that chronicles her shocking life and unyielding determination to not only survive but achieve her dreams. Julia Fox is famous for many things: her captivating acting, such as her breakout role in the film Uncut Gems; her trendsetting style, including bleached eyebrows, exaggerated eyeshadow, and cutout dresses; her mastery of social media, where she entertains and educates her millions of followers. But all these share the trait for which she is most famous: unabashedly and unapologetically being herself. This commitment to authenticity has never been more on display than in Down the Drain. With writing that is both eloquent and accessible, Fox recounts her turbulent path to cultural supremacy: her parents' volatile relationship that divided her childhood between Italy and New York City and left her largely raising herself; a possessive and abusive drug-dealing boyfriend whose torment continued even from within Rikers Island; her own trips to jail as well as to a psychiatric hospital; her work as a dominatrix that led to a complicated entanglement with a sugar daddy; a heroin habit that led to New Orleans trap houses and that she would kick only after the fatal overdose of her best friend; her own near-lethal overdoses and the deaths of still more friends from drugs and suicide; an emotionally explosive, tabloid-dominating romance with a figure she dubs "The Artist"; a whirlwind, short-lived marriage and her trials as a single parent striving to support her young son. Yet as extraordinary as her story is, its universality is what makes it so powerful. Fox doesn't just capture her improbable evolution from grade-school outcast to fashion-world icon, she captures her transition from girlhood to womanhood to motherhood. Family and friendship, sex and death, violence and love, money and power, innocence and experience—it's all here, in raw, remarkable and riveting detail. More than a year before the book's publication, Fox's description of it as "a masterpiece" in a red carpet interview went viral. As always, she was just being honest. Down the Drain is a true literary achievement, as one-of-a-kind as its author. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
