A memoir of startling insight, divine comedy, and irreversible,
unconscionable stupidity
Fans of Jason Mulgrew's wildly popular blog know that everything
really is wrong with him. The product of a raucous,
not-just-semi-but-fully-dysfunctional Philadelphia family, Jason
has seen it all--from Little League games of unspeakable horror to
citywide parades ending in stab wounds; from hard-partying
longshoremen fathers to feathered-hair, no-nonsense, kindhearted
mothers; and from conscience-crippling Catholic dogmas to the
equally confounding religion of women. With chapter titles like "My
Bird: Inadequacy and Redemption" (no, he is not referring to a
parakeet) and "On the Relationship Between Genetics and Hustling,"
Everything Is Wrong with Me proves that, as Jason puts it, "writing
is a fantastical exercise in manic depression"--but he never fails
to ensure that laughter is part of the routine.
With echoes of Jean Shepherd transplanted to Philly in the
eighties and nineties, this book is a must-read for every person
who looks back wistfully on his or her childhood and family and
wonders, "What were we thinking?"
