She speaks for all the sane ones out there who never agreed to play that part.-Amy SedarisThroughout Anna Konkles childhood, her father was her hero-a hyper-charismatic, larger-than-life human resource manager at 7-Eleven. But their closeness was constantly interrupted by the screaming matches and heavy silences between him and her mother, eventually culminating in a bitter divorce that literally split the family house down the middle, with one parent on each side.College felt like freedom, and Anna filled her time searching for the husband shed never divorce and the orgasm shed never had, while waiting tables at fancy restaurants and getting lackluster acting gigs, the strangest of which had her working celebrity Halloween parties. But just as she begins to thrive, her father starts to struggle. Not long after she moves to LA to pursue acting and writing, her dads increasingly erratic behavior forces her to cut off contact with him, until, years later, he knocks at her door.Written in intimately beautiful prose, The Sane One is a tragicomic memoir of growing up, falling apart, getting older, and trying to come back together while theres still time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52177831919904,"sku":"NEW0593243994","price":29.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71gJptKucxL.jpg?v=1786480021","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-sane-one-a-memoir-by-the-co-creator-of-pen15-0593243994","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
