by Maria Bamford
Comedian Maria Bamford has always been drawn to structured, rigid self-help and recovery programs. From childhood Suzuki violin lessons to Debtors Anonymous to institutional metal health facilities, Bamford chronicles her attempts to find a place to belong throughout life in weird, delightful, and moving ways. Structured like a For Dummies self-help book, there are plenty of asides, recipes, and tangents about what worked and what didn’t.
