My evil therapist had won. Again. I was coming down off a two-week drinking binge and needed something to whine about, so I scheduled an appointment with my therapist even though that bitch is my worst enemy.

the first chunk of this book is so fucking funny. eventually it gets less so, but it's short and compelling and the voice is a delight. I liked it a lot.

funny, fucked & beautiful 

(or, in other words, it’s a special book that is full of human depravity — and not even just the sexy kind, but also the ‘oh, yeah, how we treat each other is awful’ kind — but leaves you with your love for humanity not just intact but also bolstered)

A darkly humorous, raunchy memoir from a young gay writer about sex, bing-drinking, and the road from self-loathing to self-acceptance, and/or being a mess and learning to love yourself anyway.

Yes there are also criticisms of gay culture, art, music, capitalism, religion, racism, and many other things, but I laughed out loud not only the ridiculous scenarios, but his turns of phrase, and his scalding sense of irony.
