A Fictional Memoir

A Fan's Notes

Anthony Sabourin

Good sad sack writing marred by sour and stunning moments of misogyny. When it's not over-written, Exley trips over some blistering & honest self-reflection, and the ending is legitimately excellent.

This fictional memoir, the first of an autobiographical trilogy, traces a self professed failure's nightmarish decent into the underside of American life and his resurrection to the wisdom that emerges from despair.
