I truly began to loath the author halfway through for his self-righteousness, narcissism, and cringe-inducing faith. I have never read a more self-centered memoir and that is saying something given the nature of the genre. I gave this three stars because I did learn some interesting things about AA and I enjoyed reading about his dis functional family ( ) A narcissist creates a monumentally narcissistic work about his narcissism. The back cover tells me this is hilarious, but all I felt was anger and exhaustion as I read. But then I decided, fuck that asshole, I'm not letting him have that kind of power over me, and let it go. He can try to live with his crap; I don't have to. Seriously, though, his wife could gun him down in the street in front of a hundred people tomorrow, present this as Exhibit A at her trial, and walk out a free woman from any court in the land. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"From the author of My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down, a new graphic memoir brimming with black humor, that explores the ultimate irony: the author's addiction to 12-step programs. David Heatley had an unquestionably troubled and eccentric childhood: father a sexually repressed alcoholic, mother an overworked compulsive overeater. Then David's parents enter the world of 12-step programs and find a sense of support and community. It seems to help. David, meanwhile, grows up struggling with his own troublesome sexual urges and seeking some way to make sense of it all. Eventually he starts attending meetings too. Alcoholics Anonymous. Narcotics Anonymous. Overeaters Anonymous. Debtors Anonymous. Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous. More and more meetings. Meetings for issues he doesn't have. With stark, sharply drawn art and unflinching honesty, Heatley explores the strange and touching relationships he develops, and the truths about himself and his family he is forced to confront while 'working' an ever-increasing number of programs. The result is a complicated, unsettling, and hilarious journey--of far more than 12 steps"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
