Description

The Fear is a finely tuned, fascinating interrogation of an emotion that hijacks us all. Both intimate and psychologically rigorous, it pushes the bounds of memoir into intellectual territory.”– Lily Dunn, author of Sins of My Father

“Made up of equal parts pain, intimacy, desolation and tenderness, The Fear extracts beauty and meaning from a reckoning with great private darkness.” – Rob Doyle, author of Threshold 

“Intellectually vivifying and deeply moving, The Fear is a dazzling memoir that dances between the cerebral and the tender.” - Sam Mills, author of The Fragments of my Father

The Fear considers how trauma manifests in ways that seem too powerful to tolerate and how it can seem that emotion could be traded or outran by another equally strong emotion, like love. A brilliant look at the maze of personal history and how the wounds we carry will continue to make their journey through us, one way or another.” – Jenni Fagan, author of Luckenbooth 


A bold, beautiful and brave book; in it’s form, in the lyricism of its style and in the intensity of its interrogations.” – Tom de Freston, author of Wreck.
