“Joyful Recollections of Trauma” is book of nonfiction stories about childhood trauma mixed with humor and Hollywood stardom. I’ve been a fan of actor and comedian Paul Scheer’s podcast “How Did This Get Made?” and have heard him tell some stories about his childhood which are a mixture of comedic, weird and sad.
I enjoyed this much more than I thought! The stories of trauma were sad and dark at times, but told in ways that were both truthful and amusing.
Three words that describe this book: Funny, trauma, movies
You might want to pick this book up if: You enjoy memoirs! You enjoy reading non-fiction stories from authors like David Sedaris.
