What do you get when you mix a father with severe PTSD after barely surviving the Vietnam War, a self-proclaimed clairvoyant mother with anger issues and no filter whatsoever, rivers of booze, an awkward but academically gifted son, and a daughter with a hidden disability and a mile-wide rebellious streak? This is going to get messy. Then throw in a generous helping of domestic violence, some good old-fashioned small-town Southern homophobia, and the kind of dark family secret that makes headlines. You've got all the makings of a complete, blazing disaster. Literally: Marshall Moore got into the groundbreaking North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, the nation's first residential STEM-focused magnet school, as a means of escaping a hometown and a childhood he otherwise might not have survived. He then set it on fire. And then the story gets really complicated. I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind of Thing is a memoir about a family cosplaying normalcy in Southern suburbia in the seventies and eighties: shocking, hilarious, appalling, bizarre, and... actually true.
