Anger Is My Middle Name: A Memoir by Lisbeth Zornig Andersen
5.0
TW: abuse, neglect, childhood & adolescent sexual assault, rape
This was a really interesting memoir about Lisbeth's life and how it has shaped her into the person she is today. She discusses what has happened to her in a matter of fact way and explains how each thing shaped her behaviour.
She explains anger as a feeling as well as a behaviour. She doesn't use her trauma as an "excuse" but as an insight into how other people not knowing or understanding can change their perception about what she is like.
It is a non-judgemental account with not a lot of emotion. It seems factual, almost clinical and I think that this is deliberate to ensure that you listen to her story.
