4.0

Memoir about the author's distant dad, and his childhood celebrity at the dawn of the game show age. Includes a damaging stage parent, a hidden past, emotionally distant childhood relationships. The part about how routinely early game shows were rigged makes me wonder a little bit about modern game shows (but not too much; they wouldn't do me like that!). Also makes me wonder if there's a connection between a lifetime of emotional repression and dementia; the book does not speculate. I really liked the art, especially the author's depiction of himself as a person in perpetual surreal shock.
