Download I Am Sorry to Think I Have Raised a Timid Son: Essays AudioBook Free

Locked in battle with both his adult appetites and his most private years as a child demons, Kent Russell hungers for immersive experience and revelation, and his essays take us to society's ragged ends, the junctures between savagery and civilization. He pitches a tent at an total annual four-day music festival in Illinois, on the list of misunderstood, thick-as-thieves admirers who self-identify as Juggalos. He treks to the finish of the continent to visit a renowned hockey enforcer, the granddaddy of most tough folks, to see how he's preparing for his last foe: obsolescence. He spends a long weekend getting drunk with a self-immunizer who is willing to verify that he has conditioned his body to hold up against the bites of the most venomous snakes. And in the piercing interstitial meditations between these essays, Russell introduces us to his own raging and inimitable forebears. Blistering and deeply personal, I Am Sorry to Think I Have Elevated a Timid Child details Russell's quest to comprehend, through his journalistic topics, his own appetites and urges, his consistent alienation, and, most importantly, his knotty, volatile, essential relationship with his father.
