When That's Gone, It

A candid, brutal literary memoir born of toxic masculinity and misplaced loyalty it investigates the vagaries of abandonment, adolescence, devil-worship, mental health, self-medication, judgment, and the 'authenticity of feelings'. His father got him a job as a mechanic, he wanted to be a dancer. Navigating the challenging road to adulthood with alcohol had worked for a while, even if it did make him a bit nasty; it just never occurred to him to stop until, eventually, narcotics would solve what he thought was the biggest problem with drinking.
