People who grow up like this tend to become agoraphobics, serial killers, or really funny writers. Mulgrew, I think - hope? - is the last of these three things. His stories of childhood made me laugh out loud. -- Rob McElhenney, star, creator, and producer of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
The somewhat alarming, always interesting world inside Jason's brain has now been strewn across the pages of a book. Godspeed, reader. -- Steve Hely, author of How I Became a Famous Novelist
Jason Mulgrew's wildly popular blog Everything Is Wrong With Me: 30, Bipolar and Hungry, gives rise to a memoir of startling insight, comedy, and irreversible, unconscionable stupidity.
- A Dysfunctional Family Memoir: Where your dad getting arrested for attempted murder on Christmas Eve is just another story you grow up with.
- South Philly Setting: From the Mummers Parade to stealing cable with the chip, this is a laugh-out-loud tour of a working-class neighborhood that time forgot.
- 80s and 90s Nostalgia: A time of Sega Genesis, stolen condoms, cap guns, and discovering pornography for the first time on a fuzzy cable channel.
- Humorous Essays: Read the story of the Scotch Bonnet Pepper challenge, a childhood fireworks-selling enterprise, and the surprisingly poignant search for hookers in his dad's truck.
