People make a mess. Marc Maron was a parent-scarred, angst-filled, drug-dabbling, love-starved comedian who imagined a simple life: a wife, a home, a sitcom to call his own. But instead he woke up 1 day to find himself terminated from his radio job, encircled by feral cats, and psychologically and financially annihilated by the divorce from a woman he thought he enjoyed. He attempted to recover his broken center through whatever means he may find - minor-league hoarding, Viagra obsession, accidental racial profiling, cat fancying, flying airplanes with his brain - but nothing at all appeared to work. It had been only when he was stripped down to nothing at all that he found his in the past. Trying Normal is Marc Maron's trip through the wilderness of his own brain, a collection of explosively, painfully, addictively funny experiences that add up to a moving tale of wish and hopelessness, of failing, flailing, and finding a way. From standup to tv to his outrageously popular podcast, WTF with Marc Maron, Marc has always been an authentic original, a disarmingly genuine, intensely smart, brutally available comic who locates wisdom in the strangest places. This is his story of the winding, potholed highway from madness and obsession and failing to something like normal, the thrillingly comic trip of any sympathetic f--kup who's seeking very difficult to do better without making a larger mess. Most of us will relate.
