Description

Edgy and ironic, Clint Catalyst exposes the underside of all his many subjects - gay relationships, backwater adolescence, and spiraling addiction. Whether he's writing about a chance sexual encounter at a Goth club called Lilith ("Some New Kind of Kick") or revealing the inner thoughts of young hustlers in Hollywood ("Metaphor, and Remorse"), Catalyst reveals his characters' innermost longings.

I enjoyed his poetry and stories, very much so, but it quickly turned into a memoir of a "junky". As I have lost many friends to drugs, I really hate the desolate feeling that comes along with peeking into the brain of an addict who has hit rock bottom and will do anything for the next score.
There is nothing delightful about this book, but there is something very intriguing that makes you flip the pages at turbo speed, it is Raw, and painful, and the brutal truth without any speck sugar coating or rose colored glasses.
There was an endless search for him to find meaning to his life, and to finally feel loved and accepted as is (tran/queer) Lucky for us here, there was a happy ending, unlike many others who have lost that battle.
After show more reading this, I need a healthy dose of a Victorian Romance with drama and happy endings, and I am taking a break from the deep and heavy stuff, hurts too much to keep on.
( I keep saying that, then I instantly reach for the next deep darkly kept secret, *le sigh* )
