I Am Not Myself These Days follows a glittering journey through Manhattan's dark underbelly -- a shocking and surreal world where alter egos reign and subsist (barely) on dark wit and chemicals...a tragic romantic comedy where one begins by rooting for the survival of the relationship and ends by hoping someone simply survives. Kilmer-Purcell is a terrifically gifted new literary voice who straddles the divide between absurdity and normalcy, and stitches them together with surprising humor and lonely poignancy. As Booklist raved "as tart and funny as a Noel Coward play, for Kilmer-Purcell is especially good at dialogue, and, as in Coward's best plays, under the comedy lies the sad truth that even at our best, we are all weak, fallible fools. Again and again in this rich, adventure-filled book, Kilmer-Purcell illustrates the truth of Blake's proverb, 'The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.'"

Some pages are too challenging for me to digest both literally and mentally and some facts are too cruel to look directly in the eye, while tears are shed for this astonishing literary work. Love Josh Kilmer-Purcell whose talent and amusement cannot be ignored and looked away.

a love story between alcoholic drag queen and drug whore can be surprisingly relatable. darkly hilarious yet still heartfelt. a very entertaining read.

觉得是Soldier's Girl遇上Just Kids with a side of Bright Lights, Big City 注定是过客的那些人…心疼的不得了
