The Screaming Middle a memoir in verse of a very strange year

The Screaming Middle is a memoir of a very strange year, the year of turning 50 for one woman who forgot to have a party. This confessional verse novel takes you on road trips, into psych wards, into the chambers of marriage and through epic failures, brilliant ideas and back to kingdoms of chaos and castles of hilarity. There’s a lot of bitching and loving, a lot of fights and great nights. It’s Orwellian in its frank and unforgiving expedition through life’s daily hardships and glories. If you thought you needed Little Golden Books when you were young then think no more about trading up to the solid gold of The Screaming Middle: the novel cure we all need.
