Reviews
"An earnest and heartfelt memoir cloaked under a battle-toughened exterior." -- Kirkus Reviews "It's already a rare and wonderful thing to have a great story-but a unique and compelling voice to tell it with is even rarer. With Darling Days, iO Tillett Wright takes us right to where great storytelling lives. A terrific, terrific book." -- Anthony Bourdain "Reading Darling Days I'm reminded of what I liked best in Patti Smith's Just Kids. In brutally honest and passionate prose, iO presents the blossoming of an artist, this time in the eighties, on New York's Lower East Side." -- Mitchell Kaplan, Books & Books "iO Tillett Wright is nothing short of a force of nature-an artist, an activist, and a survivor. iO has packed a lot into few years and in this extraordinary memoir has created something brave and true, as devastating as it is inspiring." -- Jill Soloway, Emmy-award winning creator of Transparent "Gender-defying iO Tillett Wright mixes such a high-octane cocktail of radiant ink, wild anecdotes, bad behavior, and gritty truths-topped off with an unexpected tonic of transcendence-it could stagger Charles Dickens, electrify Maxim Gorky, and cause Jane Austen to walk around in army boots." -- Tom Robbins, iO Tillett Wright is nothing short of a force of nature-an artist, an activist, and a survivor. iO has packed a lot into few years and in this extraordinary memoir has created something brave and true, as devastating as it is inspiring., iO Tillett Wright is nothing short of a force of nature-an artist, an activist, and a survivor. iO has packed a lot in her young years and in this extraordinary memoir has created something brave and true, as devastating as it is inspiring.

Synopsis
A memoir from the host of The Ballad of Billy Balls Born into the beautiful bedlam of downtown New York in the eighties, iO Tillett Wright came of age at the intersection of punk, poverty, heroin, and art. This was a world of self-invented characters, glamorous superstars, and strung-out sufferers, ground zero of drag and performance art. Still, no personality was more vibrant and formidable than iO's mother's. Rhonna, a showgirl and young widow, was a mercurial, erratic glamazon. She was iO's fiercest defender and only authority in a world with few boundaries and even fewer indicators of normal life. At the center of Darling Days is the remarkable relationship between a fiery kid and a domineering ma--a bond defined by freedom and control, excess and sacrifice; by heartbreaking deprivation, agonizing rupture, and, ultimately, forgiveness. Darling Days is also a provocative examination of culture and identity, of the instincts that shape us and the norms that deform us, and of the courage and resilience it takes to listen closely to your deepest self. When a group of boys refuse to let six-year-old, female-born iO play ball, iO instantly adopts a new persona, becoming a boy named Ricky--a choice iO's parents support and celebrate. It is the start of a profound exploration of gender and identity through the tenderest years, and the beginning of a life invented and reinvented at every step. Alternating between the harrowing and the hilarious, Darling Days is the candid, tough, and stirring memoir of a young person in search of an authentic self as family and home life devolve into chaos.

Only thing is I have a few minor complaints, the book had a slight rip at the back and a few folded/torn pages. Otherwise the item is as described and is in ok condition. For the value, you can't go wrong with 2 books for the price of one given that these are expensive individually. The packaging was good as it ensured that there would be no damage to the product during shipment. The shipping time was pretty good too.Miles Edgeworth Ace Attorney Investigations Vol 1 & 2 Manga Books Lot English (#176811073488)
