What does it mean to be a person in a world where everyone creates themselves, chooses food and pursues the fantasy of life? In his great debut memoir, playwright David Adjmi examines how people make themselves and how artists make their living art.
Brooklyn, 1970s.
Cant Hurt Me by David Goggins
David was born in the ruins of a Syrian Jewish family who once owned everything and were abandoned. Trapped in a religious community on an island where he and his family were not in full swing, he plunged into suicide depression. As a teenager, David tried to suppress and adapt his homosexual feelings, but when pushed to the breaking point, he made the bold decision to break up with his family, erase his past, and leave everything he knew. There is only one problem: who is he? He jumped between identities and stole the pages of fashion magazines, philosophical books, sitcoms and foreign films. Almost everyone he met, from Rastafari to French preparation, David began to gather new adults. But is that the basis for life or just some kind of sand?
Moving from the glamor and dysfunction of 1970s Brooklyn to 1980s Sybaritic materialism from the Reagans to New York after Sept. 11, Lot Six offers a special American story of an outsider that has been reshaped in the mirror of the American cultural home. Memoir Adjmi is a genre that complements artist novels in the spirit of Charles Dickens and Alison Bechdel, portraits of artists amid an identity crisis of life and death. Lot Six Charts Adjmis, written roughly and lyrically and in glossy prose that easily alternates between cheerfulness and sadness, seeks connection, identity and what is needed to be an artist in America..
