From Publishers WeeklySheff relates his personal struggle with drugs and alcohol in this poignant and often disturbing memoir. Paul Michael Garcia is the perfect choice for narrator; his stern and entirely believable voice captures the desolation in Sheff's tale. His reading is wonderfully underplayed, and necessarily so. Garcia becomes Sheff, offering a gritty and raw performance that demonstrates just how dire the circumstances surrounding Sheff's existence really were. A Ginee Seo Books hardcover. (Apr.)

Quotes

  • Mckenzie Wrighthas quoted2 years ago
    It was like, if I looked long enough, maybe I’d finally be handsome. It never worked. I just got uglier and uglier. Nothing about me ever seemed good enough. And there was this sadness inside me—this hopelessness.
  • Mckenzie Wrighthas quoted2 years ago
    I pull the car out of there quick, feeling more guilty and humiliated than anything else.
  • Mckenzie Wrighthas quoted2 years ago
    she wrote something about seeing me and how I looked sad. She said it made her stomach feel all “fluddery.”

    Reading it, I know just how she felt. My stomach feels fluddery.
