nettles's review

dark funny

4.5

A really unique memoir but not one I can safely recommend to my friends.

I'm interested in how different art styles depict different ways the author sees the world with time. Conversations with her younger selves, search for meaning as an artist. A lot was explored and it was funny but SO dark

One of those books that you saw and immediately knew that you have to read. Right away.

This book is unfortunately very relata-[GUNSHOT]

Anyway. The art is incredible. The story is raw and honest - well, as honest as one believe. I know the feeling of darkness and the need to create something out of it to justify its existence. The words I wrote during those times would always be the most honest I could ever be.

Doesn’t make it feel any less like a performance.

Sorry to the author - I didn’t read this while I was in a good space. But I was in the void with you. And it was comforting indeed.

It is lonely at the centre of the earth. The creation born from it can be magnificent. It is lonely, and it is comfortable. Easy.

You have to want something else. We have to.

I don’t think I’ve ever read something that encapsulates exactly how your depression can sneak up on you even when things are going well. It’s so so good.
