Liar: A Memoir

After years of hard living, addiction, and many concussions, rocker Rob Roberge found himself slowly losing his memories. Terrified at this prospect, he set out to record the formative moments of his life, including the brutal murder of his childhood girlfriend, his diagnosis of rapid-cycling bipolar disorder, adventures touring with bands, and a moment of reckoning in the desert. A memoir of sex, drugs, and rock and roll, but also a profound meditation on identity and how we become the stories we tell ourselves and others. Beautifully-written, devastating, and occasionally very, very funny.
