About this listen

"Searingly honest, brilliant and disturbing. Brad Phillips peels back the skin and bone and stares right into the human soul." (Anthony Bourdain)

Brad Phillips' collection of short stories adeptly walks a very thin line between taboo and propriety, with rigorous self-awareness and generosity.

By confusing ideas around fiction and autobiography, Phillips writes with painful sincerity about shame, addiction, trauma, and the more troubling outreaches of sexual desire, with wit that is at odds with the subject matter. Brad Phillips is a well-known Canadian artist. This book has blurbs from Anthony Bourdain and The Paris Review.

Incredible

Brad Phillips messed me up with this. The good way. Jon Leyden's voice could not be more perfect. Another Talking Book Classic. Thank you both so much.

I read it, then I heard it.

A masterpiece of writing, it’s read in a way that is so fulfilling. The pace of this book made me fell anxious and put me in a place somewhere between tranced and startled. I walked around my town while I listened. I just loved taking this in.
