A Memoir of No One in Particular

This unique, quirky book parodies conventional narrative autobiography and asks the question, "Why should we care about anyone's life?".

Many complain that the memoir has overtaken the novel and has become too influential in our current literary scene.

But no one has actually done anything about it. There have been no satires or parodies of the genre-until now.

In A Memoir of No One in Particular, our author approaches his life as if he were a specimen in a biologist's petrie dish.

Rather than giving the usual narrative account, No One in Particular tells his own personal history as a gay white male by probing the banalities of daily living and the unexplored territory of the commonplace.

Dispens-ing with clichd and romanticized reminiscences, he revels in the minutiae and mundane habits and rituals of modern daily living, and finds his own unique contraption of selfhood amongst this quotidian detritus.

Why is he No One in Particular? Although he can hardly claim to be Everyman, this very anonymity sardonically thumbs its literary nose at all those who must tell their unique stories. Equal parts spoof, satire, memoir, essay, literary criticism, and autobiography, this is a radical new book that will dare you to love it.
