Good Morning, Destroyer of Men's Souls

A beautifully written memoir of addiction, gender, obsession, and healing.

“Even as I write this, I acknowledge that it may also be ridiculous. Maybe I just wanted to read meaning into his inability to show up and be a good man. And isn't that just an extension of women's work, too? The excavation and analysis of men's trauma — unpaid work they won't do themselves — the ascription to them of some deeper reasoning, so that we may explain away the ways they mistreat us. How generous we are with context.”
