Ego and Hubris: The Michael Malice Story by Harvey Pekar

3.0

I'm happy enough with Pekar's character study and Malice's story is almost unwieldy in its fantastical collection of details of his ego and hubris but it went on too long for my interests. Each story means to build complexity (and empathy?) for Malice but he seems to come off as someone possibly undiagnosed with delusions of grandure which makes him more of a spectacle to behold rather than care about. Pekar does justice to him if his story's nonsequitors reflect the actual person but it can be hard to follow at times.
