Download Fiction Ruined My Family: A Memoir AudioBook Free
Introducing a deeply funny, charismatic new words: an interesting memoir of a family group haunted by its myths and its obsessive idolization of the literary life. Jeanne Darst was born the youngest of four daughters within an old, celebrated family long past its glory days and nights. For the early part of her life, the family survived on the storage of past years' grandeur and the intimate belief that Darst's daddy would rebuild that greatness with his destined job as a novelist. Within a couple of years, however, it was abundantly clear to everyone but him that despite the a long time enslaved to the writer's craft and lifestyle, he was never going to sell a e book. By the time of Darst's adolescence, the family was broke, and her mother was consoling herself with nightly booze-fueled weepathons, while her daddy was still too possessed by the wish to obtain a job. Later, Darst realizes she has inherited both gene for alcoholism and the gene for attempting to write, and she isn't sure which is more destructive. Will her need to write, to tell experiences, mean that she's doomed to repeat the errors of her daddy, or can she discover a way to go beyond her family's curse, and not have fiction damage her life? Now sober and a profitable writer, Darst appears back on all those years with warmth, affection, and a moving amount of understanding - as well as wicked, deadpan humor.
