A searingly honest, heartbreaking work of genius, this is a book about music, poetry, devastating illness, creativity, sex and drugs, and twenty-something life in New York
Joshua Cody received his bachelor's degree in music composition from Northwestern University, and his master's and doctoral degrees from Columbia University. Joshua is a composer living in New York City. This is his first book.
Writing this rawly self-conscious has no business captivating you,
let alone moving you. That it manages to do it anyway is a
testament to Mr. Cody's talent, honesty, and singularity
*Jonathan Franzen*
The memoir of the year. It's a sensorium, and a painful one, a book
in which the sentences swing into you like small, gleaming axes ...
He has a blazing intellect and can really write
*New York Times, Books of the Year*
With wordplay and quirky digression it renders a unique and serious
story ... Cody does have an extraordinary tale to tell ... A
masterclass
*Observer*
As artfully constructed as a Tarantino film
*New York Times Book Review*
Hilarious and cracklingly intelligent, fully alive and original in
every sentence
*Guardian, Books of the Year*
