What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Blacker: A Memoir in Essays by Damon Young

challenging funny reflective medium-paced

3.75

You can definitely tell this is written by a blogger. His asides, while often humorous, are torturously long skip-worthy. Riffing doesn't translate too well to print. Also, the jumbled chronology of the memoir made it difficult to follow. If you're going to write a memoir in essays... Why constantly refer back to prior events? Why not just write a roughly chronological account?
