The Fear is a finely tuned, fascinating interrogation of an emotion that hijacks us all. Both intimate and psychologically rigorous, it pushes the bounds of memoir into intellectual territory. Made up of equal parts pain, intimacy, desolation and tenderness, The Fear extracts beauty and meaning from a reckoning with great private darkness. The Fear considers how trauma manifests in ways that seem too powerful to tolerate... A brilliant look at the maze of personal history and how the wounds we carry will continue to make their journey through us, one way or another. The Fear is a bold, beautiful and brave book; in it's form, in the lyricism of its style and in the intensity of its interrogations. At the level of intellectual curiosity, psychological honesty and political urgency it is a text of staggering depth and variety. Intellectually vivifying and deeply moving, The Fear is a dazzling memoir that dances between the cerebral and the tender.
