Everything Is Wrong with Me

People who grow up like this tend to become agoraphobics, serial killers, or really funny writers. Mulgrew, I think hope? is the last of these three things. His stories of childhood made me laugh out loud. Rob McElhenney, star, creator, and producer of Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia The somewhat alarming, always interesting world inside Jasons brain has now been strewn across the pages of a book. Godspeed, reader. Steve Hely, author of How I Became a Famous Novelist Jason Mulgrews wildly popular blog Everything Is Wrong With Me: 30, Bipolar and Hungry, gives rise to a memoir of startling insight, comedy, and irreversible, unconscionable stupidity.

Fans of Jason Mulgrew's wildly popular blog know that everything really is wrong with him. The product of a raucous, not-just-semi-but-fully-dysfunctional Philadelphia family, Jason has seen it all?from Little League games of unspeakable horror to citywide parades ending in stab wounds; from hard-partying longshoremen fathers to feathered-hair, no-nonsense, kindhearted mothers; and from conscience-crippling Catholic dogmas to the equally confounding religion of women. With chapter titles like "My Bird: Inadequacy and Redemption" (no, he is not referring to a parakeet) and "On the Relationship Between Genetics and Hustling," Everything Is Wrong with Me proves that, as Jason puts it, "writing is a fantastical exercise in manic depression"?but he never fails to ensure that laughter is part of the routine.
