As a middle child raised middle class and stuck out in the middle of Louisiana, hilarious writer and actress Sarah Thyre often found her in-between existence far less than desirable. Even from a young age, Sarah found ways of shirking her own hated identity - whether by stealing someone else's or lying about her own. She changed her name, claimed to be a great outdoorsman, and solicited donations for her favorite charity - which turned out to be, in fact, her. In addition, Sarah lived through the violent struggles between her parents and their often troubled finances, and the stories with which she emerged populate this charming memoir.

Reviews for Dark at the Roots: A Memoir

As a big fan of 'Thyrezine, ' I can't wait for Dark at the Roots. Sarah Thyre has a remarkable story to tell, and she tells it, well, remarkably. -- David Sedaris Sarah Thyre just happens to be a marvelous writer. Hers is a truly distinct voice with a twisted poet's gift for the perfect turn of phrase. She will be much imitated. -- David Rakoff
