Description:

They say a father is a little girl’s first hero and the standard by which she measures every other man. But what happens when your hero is a grifter and a schemer who treats you more like an accomplice than a princess? And when your hero is a lawless pill-popping prankster who cheats death and hoards guns and chugs vodka by the gallon and howls at every full moon, what happens then? In this darkly comic memoir, Meg McCarville grapples with her “daddy issues” while celebrating the outrageous life and legend of the man who taught her everything worth knowing.
Reviews:
Meg McCarville writes hilarious sentences that often double as sharp gut punches. And when she isn’t punching you, her memoir affects the delightful pain that comes from relieving discomfort—like prodding a mouth ulcer or picking a scab. Daddy Stories is a fabulous scab that I picked at until it was gone.
--Anita Dalton, author of TL;DR: The Best of Odd Things Considered

6 x 9 | 286 pages | Softcover ---- As humanity awakens to the dawn of the Anthropocene it faces two interconnected existential threats. The coming onslaught of environmental devastation and our inability to change the systems of inequality and exploitation that remain central components of our societies. Confronting both requires that we ask difficult questions not only about ourselves as individuals, but the entire history of our species. In calling for the construction of new historical narratives utilizing a Pessimistic philosophical lens, A Disease of the Dust weaves together philosophy, history, religion, science, film analysis, and cultural criticism. While it may speak to those academic fields specifically, it is also meant for a wider, more popular audience. Anyone waiting impatiently for the long moral arc of the universe to bend towards justice will find a new way of conceptualizing our history as a species, the longstanding systems of inequality and exploitation endemic to our societies, and how what it will take to fully confront the unfolding devastation of the Anthropocene.]]> A Disease of the Dust: Pessimism and the Illusion of Progress
