This book says “A Memoir in Verse” on its cover but it DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU DON’T “GET” POETRY OR HATE IT EVEN. This book will change your mind. This is the funniest most fucked up book you will ever be lucky enough to read. Seriously do yourself a favor and get it because I can’t describe seeing a sunset while having an orgasm anymore than I can describe this book.

I’ve read most of his books twice since, yeah, total misanthrope and I’m sure we’d have nothing to talk about other than birds. But the man knows how to tell a story, and wow he does a number on dysfunctional families. It’s not great but Purity was quite fun at parts and for a deep cut, his second novel Strong Motion was very entertaining to me since it takes place in 90s Somerville where I used to live (not in the 90s).
