Lost and Found: A Memoir - Ernest Merchant

Descriere Lost and Found: A Memoir - Ernest Merchant

In the vein of Augusten Burroughs and Jeannette Walls, Lost and Found is a harrowing tale of survival in a world hostile to diversity. The memoir spans five decades, from the young boy whose search for identity and self-empowerment begins with the haunting observation, there are no pictures of me as a baby, through a dark, spiraling vortex of bad decisions, while looking for love in all the wrong places.This is not your stereotypical gay-hairdresser-addict-convict story ... if there is such a thing. In the vein of Augusten Burroughs and Jeannette Walls, Lost and Found is a harrowing tale of survival in a world hostile to diversity. The memoir spans five decades, from the young boy whose search for identity and self-empowerment begins with the haunting observation, there are no pictures of me as a baby, through a dark, spiraling vortex of bad decisions, while looking for love in all the wrong places. With unflinching candor, Merchant explores the issues of sexual diversity, drug addiction, crime and punishment, and social prejudice. His sardonic humor and clear-eyed honesty take the reader on a dangerous journey, battling the demons of self-destruction - a war that turns out to be surprisingly uplifting.
