Parasocial Activity: A Memoir in the Key of Science Fiction

My first book-length project is a memoir, focusing largely on the experience of getting labeled delusional, which is what happened to me in early 2024, when I walked into a hospital and told the doctors I was receiving secret messages from Jon Stewart and John Oliver. This is a story of being disbelieved by everyone in your life, of getting locked up in a psych ward for a little bit, and of trying to come to terms with memories that simply refuse to align with the view of reality shared by everyone else.

Parasocial Activity is also a heavily political book, and it contains a lot of musings and pontifications about the present crisis in our national politics—and on my hopes for a better future. As I’ve been saying at open mic nights recently, this is a story about trying to change the world and flying a little too close to the sun.

Download Parasocial Activity for free(!), or get it on Amazon ($0.99 for Kindle, or $14.99 in paperback).
