Attempting Normal

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

Marc Maron is â€œa master of spinning humor out of anguishâ€ (Bookforum), even when that anguish is pretty clearly self-inflicted. In Attempting Normal, he threads together twenty-five stories from his life and near-death, from his first comedy road trips (with a fugitive junkie comic with a missing tooth) to his love affair with feral animals (his cat rescues are bloody epics) to his surprisingly moving tales of lust, heartbreak, and hope.Â The stories are united by Maronâ€™s thrilling storytelling styleâ€”intensely smart, disarmingly honest, and explosively funny. Together, they add up to a hilarious and moving tale of failing, flailing, and finding a way.
