Horror Stories: A Memoir by Liz Phair

4.0

---

I love Liz Phair and listened to her albums nonstop through my teenage and young adult years, and this memoir is wonderful in a lot of ways. It gives you snapshots of her life and experience as you would hope for from a memoir, but also reflects a lot on universal themes like grief, loneliness, and regret. Some of the essays are not super memorable, but the ones that are really hit home. The first one in particular pulled me in and kept me interested, and i enjoyed her perspective a lot. she is limited and biased in her own way just as we all are, and that comes through too, but overall this is a worthwhile endeavor from one of my favorite artists.
