Because I was the girl who got scholarships and hid empty magnums of Yellowtail in her childhood bedroom. Because I\u2019d sneak into my bedroom at 5 in the morning after destroying my body and drive to school at 7:30 am as if nothing had happened. Substance abuse, secrecy, and masking are salient themes in my first book, a lyric essay I\u2019m still not comfortable calling a memoir, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/269\/9781941628317\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Hurricane Book: A Lyric History<\/a><\/em>.

The older, agnostic me considers it somewhat narcissistic. There might be some truth to both. As a writer dealing with shameful topics, there is the risk of character annihilation, alienation from those we want to love and be loved by. So why do we do it? I honestly have no idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>None of the books on this list have provided a definite answer for me, but they do offer the reader (and writer) a variety of answers to the question of how, if not why, we write candidly about the unfeminine, scandalous upend-your-life decisions our bodies and minds make to help us cope. They also expose the insidious ways in which addiction can unfold in the most unlikely places and at the most inopportune times. They are also full of hard-earned grace and\/or humor, two things we all need more of when we look in the mirror.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"307\" height=\"475\" src=\"https:\/\/electricliterature.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-255565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/electricliterature.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-3.png 307w, https:\/\/electricliterature.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-3-194x300.png 194w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 307px) 100vw, 307px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Smile, Please: An Unfinished Autobiography<\/em> by Jean Rhys<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Best known for penning the woman-in-the-attic-focused prequel to <em>Jane Eyre<\/em>, <em>Wide Sargasso Sea<\/em>, English writer Jean Rhys was always a little out of step. She was intimately acquainted with displacement and battled an inner duality since childhood. As a privileged girl from a family of colonists in early 20th-century Dominica, she clashed with her environment, her peers, and her parents. She was neither here nor there, but spent most of her life looking for a place to belong to. In her posthumous (and unfinished) autobiography, Rhys recounts her early years in the Caribbean, her time as a chorus girl in England, her experience as a wealthy man\u2019s mistress, and her chaotic entanglements in bohemian 1920s Paris. We see her fall into the arms of the wrong men, debilitating alcoholism, and, despite all this, writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script\n      src=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/widgets.js\"\n      data-type=\"featured\"\n      data-full-info=\"true\"\n      data-affiliate-id=\"269\"\n      data-sku=\"9780979018831\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/269\/9780979018831\">The Chronology of Water: A Memoir<\/a><\/em> by Lidia Yuknavitch<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Formally masterful and inventive, <em>The Chronology of Water<\/em> features poetic, non-linear prose that flows in and out of Yuknavitch\u2019s experiences with parental violence and neglect, child loss, unmet expectations, and drugs and alcohol. The author, once a promising competitive swimmer with a scholarship, leaves behind a dysfunctional home only to fall into known destructive patterns, experimenting with self-destructive forms of escape. Reeling from a bad relationship and the loss of a child, the author enrolls in school and finds herself in a writing workshop that changes the course of her life. More than anything, this is a book about art, how the love of it (and the right people) can bring us back to ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script\n      src=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/widgets.js\"\n      data-type=\"featured\"\n      data-full-info=\"true\"\n      data-affiliate-id=\"269\"\n      data-sku=\"9780312583781\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/269\/9780312583781\">Whip Smart<\/a> <\/em>by Melissa Febos<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A brilliant, nuanced study in desire, self-actualization, and recovery, Melissa Febos\u2019s debut focuses on her time as a dominatrix in NYC while studying at The New School and battling a heroin addiction. One of the things I admire most about Febos is her generosity, the palpable love with which she writes about herself, her gentle self-awareness. Here is a beloved daughter from a supportive home, a talented student. With measured curiosity, she challenges the notion that a woman like that can\u2019t abandon herself and others, that she can\u2019t be a sex worker, that she can\u2019t be an addict, that any of these is guaranteed to beget the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script\n      src=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/widgets.js\"\n      data-type=\"featured\"\n      data-full-info=\"true\"\n      data-affiliate-id=\"269\"\n      data-sku=\"9781439153710\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/269\/9781439153710\">Wishful Drinking<\/a><\/em> by Carrie Fisher<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf my life wasn\u2019t funny it would just be true, and that is unacceptable.\u201d Yes, it\u2019s a celebrity memoir. Yes, maybe it\u2019s one of those things you\u2019d pick up at a Hudson News. But beyond the Princess Leia-Paul Simon-Elizabeth Taylor-Eddie Fisher-Debbie Reynolds of it all, you can\u2019t deny that Carrie Fisher wrote a memoir about painful family dynamics, public life, bipolar disorder, and addiction that can make you laugh (if you have the patience for this kind of thing). It\u2019s voice driven, shiny, and a little indulgent. After years of keeping her battle with substance abuse under wraps, Fisher became an advocate for mental health awareness who spoke openly about her bipolar disorder diagnosis and her addictions, becoming sort of a den mother to unlikely celebrities and a beloved public figure. It\u2019s easy to see why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script\n      src=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/widgets.js\"\n      data-type=\"featured\"\n      data-full-info=\"true\"\n      data-affiliate-id=\"269\"\n      data-sku=\"9780060596996\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/269\/9780060596996\">Lit<\/a> <\/em>by Mary Karr<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The third in a memoir trilogy that includes the critically acclaimed <em>The Liars\u2019 Club<\/em> and <em>Cherry<\/em>, <em>Lit<\/em> introduces Mary Karr as a full grown woman, poet, wife, and mother struggling with alcoholism. In her musical, no-nonsense style, she shows us how this disease, passed down from her own gun-toting, charming, erratic artist mother, almost wrecked her own life, following her on a quest for the stability she didn\u2019t know as a kid. We see how through hard spiritual work, brutal self-effacement, hospitalization, community, and grace, she found a way through. This is also one of the first memoirs I ever read that included habitual disclosures about the haziness of memory, which made me feel safe as a reader and writer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script\n      src=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/widgets.js\"\n      data-type=\"featured\"\n      data-full-info=\"true\"\n      data-affiliate-id=\"269\"\n      data-sku=\"9780525576686\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/269\/9780525576686\">Good Morning, Destroyer of Men\u2019s Souls<\/a> <\/em>by Nina Renata Aron<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In an interview conducted while she was at work on the memoir, Aron said, \u201cThere\u2019s this long history of, often women, living alongside this disease. But women\u2019s experiences are seen as this secondary emotional corollary to the much more important story of male alcoholism and all the storminess that it entails.\u201d At the center of her book is this secondary emotional corollary as it pertains to codependency. She had ample experience with it. At a young age, she became both protector and cop to her sister, who was addicted to drugs. After leaving home, marrying, and having a child, she reconnects with a charismatic man from her past, and the two begin an obsessive drug-filled affair that perpetuates a cycle of enabling and mutual destruction. Aron uses this as a springboard to talk about the psychology of codependency and even the roots of the temperance movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script\n      src=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/widgets.js\"\n      data-type=\"featured\"\n      data-full-info=\"true\"\n      data-affiliate-id=\"269\"\n      data-sku=\"9780143126508\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/269\/9780143126508\">Drunk Mom<\/a><\/em> by Jowita Bydlowska<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortly after the birth of her son, Bydlowska relapses after three years of sobriety. She felt like a God, so she thought, why not keep that feeling going. Fast forward a bit and she\u2019s sneaking drinks at the grocery store, waking up in a hotel with no panties on after a blackout. It is harrowing. She gets sober. After the book published, Bydlowska was celebrated for her bravery. She was also criticized for her seeming disregard for her child. In 2022, nine years after the release of the book (and six years after another relapse), she wrote, \u201cReaders still write to tell me that this book helped them\u2014to stop drinking, to stay sober another day, to feel less alone[\u2026] I love every message. But the truth is, whatever the book does for people was never intentional.\u201d Her initial motivation was only to write it.
