A darkly comic anti-memoir
Life Mid-Crisis
A profane, lyrical box of evidence recovered from the wreckage of sex, status, appetite, guilt and the stories a man told about himself.
Plain reading editionAbout the book
A box of evidence from the wreckage
Life Mid-Crisis follows a man through childhood, corporate excess, wild friendships, dangerous desire and the eventual failure of the stories he told about himself.
Told in fragments, it is funny, profane, lyrical and self-indicting: less a life story than a set of exhibits left on a table after the lights come up.
It is a book about sex, status, appetite, guilt and collapse, and about the terrible comedy of wanting to be forgiven before telling the truth.
