Historia
Julia Fox is famous for many things: her captivating acting, such as her breakout role in the film Uncut Gems; her trendsetting style, including bleached eyebrows, exaggerated eyeshadow, and cutout dresses; her mastery of social media, where she entertains and educates her millions of followers. But all these share the trait for which she is most famous: unabashedly and unapologetically being herself. This commitment to authenticity has never been more on display than in Down the Drain. With writing that is both eloquent and accessible, Fox recounts her turbulent path to cultural supremacy.

Kiara and her brother, Marcus, are barely scraping by in a squalid East Oakland apartment complex optimistically called the Regal-Hi. Both have dropped out of high school, their family fractured by death and prison. But while Marcus clings to his dream of rap stardom, Kiara hunts for work to pay their rent—which has more than doubled—and to keep the nine-year-old boy next door, abandoned by his mother, safe and fed.

Historia
Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars: same year at Yale, same debut year in publishing. But Athena’s a cross-genre literary darling, and June didn’t even get a paperback release. Nobody wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks. So when June witnesses Athena’s death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena’s just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers to the British and French war efforts during World War I.

Our narrator should be happy, shouldn't she? She's young, thin, pretty, a recent Columbia graduate; she works an easy job at a hip art gallery and lives in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan paid for, like the rest of her needs, by her inheritance. But there is a dark and vacuous hole in her heart, and it isn't just the loss of her parents, or the way her Wall Street boyfriend treats her, or her sadomasochistic relationship with her best friend, Reva. It's the year 2000 in a city aglitter with wealth and possibility; what could be so terribly wrong?

In this valuable and revealing anthology, cultural critic and best-selling author Roxane Gay collects original and previously published pieces that address what it means to live in a world where women have to measure the harassment, violence, and aggression they face, and where they are "routinely second-guessed, blown off, discredited, denigrated, besmirched, belittled, patronized, mocked, shamed, gaslit, insulted, bullied" for speaking out. Contributions include essays from established and up-and-coming writers, performers, and critics.

Resumen del Editor
In this “deeply original” (Elif Batuman) and “violently funny” (Myriam Gurba) story, a young lawyer finally confronts her dark past so she can live in a more peaceful future.
To the outside observer, Vivian is a success story—a dedicated lawyer who advocates for mentally ill patients at a New York City psychiatric hospital. Privately, Vivian contends with the memories and aftereffects of her bad childhood—compounded by the everyday stresses of being a Black Latinx woman in America. She lives in a constant state of hypervigilant awareness that makes even a simple subway ride into a heart-pounding drama.
For years, Vivian has self-medicated with a mix of dating, dieting, dark humor and smoking weed with her BFF, Jane. But after a family reunion prompts Vivian to take a bold step, she finds herself alone in new and terrifying ways, without even Jane to confide in, and she starts to unravel. Will she find a way to repair what matters most to her?
A debut from a stunning talent, Post-traumatic is a new kind of survivor narrative, featuring a complex heroine who is blazingly, indelibly alive. With razor-sharp prose and mordant wit, Chantal V. Johnson performs an extraordinary feat, delivering a psychologically astute story about the aftermath of trauma that somehow manages to brim with warmth, laughter, and hope.
Reseñas de la Crítica
“Deeply original, socially important, psychologically revelatory, propulsively and idiosyncratically readable. Post-Traumatic is a gem.” (Elif Batuman, author of The Idiot)
"Stunning and riotous, Post-Traumatic took me right under and then revived me, like only the best fiction can do. Johnson's delicious, meticulous prose delivers such intimacy and hilarity on the page, I laughed and cried all the way through. This is a raw, brilliant, and unforgettable debut. I love everything about it!" (Deesha Philyaw, author of National Book Award Finalist The Secret Lives of Church Ladies)
“Chantal V. Johnson has blessed us with a cool, stylish, and violently funny novel about survival. It made me smile, laugh, cringe, shiver, and think. Like life, Post-Traumatic is richly triggering and highly recommended.” (Myriam Gurba, author of Mean)

Something was nagging Marina Shifrin. As a freshly minted adult with student loan payments and a “real” job she hated that paid her enough to get by if she also worked two other jobs, something needed to change. Marina and her friend each made lists of 30 things they’d do before the age of 30. The first thing on Marina’s list was, “Quit My Shitty Job”. So she did, and just like that the List powered her through her twenties. Told with humor and heart, 30 Before 30 will entertain, motivate, and challenge listeners to get out of their comfort zones and live their best lives.

Marina Keegan's star was on the rise when she graduated magna cum laude from Yale in May 2012. She had a play that was to be produced at the New York International Fringe Festival and a job waiting for her at the New Yorker. Tragically, five days after graduation, Marina died in a car crash. Even though she was just 22 when she died, Marina left behind a rich, expansive trove of prose that, like her title essay, captures the hope, uncertainty, and possibility of her generation.

Her mother, beset by mental illness and overwhelmed by caring for Margaux, is grateful for the attention Peter lavishes on her, and he creates an imaginative universe for her, much as Lewis Carroll did for his real-life Alice.

Then she watches TV until she drops off to sleep, and the cycle begins again. When the possibility of a full-time job offer arises, it seems to bring the better life she's envisioning within reach.

Post-Traumatic is a very human story that will resonate with anyone who has suffered childhood trauma and toxic family dynamics. The main character Vivian verges on reverse racism at times, making assumptions that only or more people of color experience child sex abuse, rape, incest, and physical abuse. She also lumps all white people and their level of privilege together, not considering gender identities, sexuality, religious minorities, or people with disabilities. At first as a survivor of childhood trauma, it was jarring, but I realized the dramatic irony and the obvious biases the author highlighted that drove some of Vivian’s tilted world views and apprehensions. Chantal fleshes out three-dimensional characters beautifully with details you can almost touch, and the narrator gives the story the perfect soundtrack. The dialogue flows naturally. Also, I love the references to Elliot Smith and Fiona Apple, truly two of the best breakup song artists. It’s a great read to challenge thinking around what we owe to our families and ourselves.

Not sure why I listened to this story.
I can't say I like/loved or enjoyed this book. I'm not even sure what drew me to it. Although once I began listening to Chantal's story I became a curious and a non-judgemental observer with no expectations. We all (me included) have childhood memories that taunt us in so many ways making our journeys anything but straight and forward.
I gave it 5 stars because I thought it was a riveting story and kept me through the end, though there were times I wanted to put it down. I kept asking myself, what is her story saying to me or is it another piece of literature to just absorb and reinforce how complicated we are.
Interesting title, though I saw Post-Traumatic in multiple contexts, historical in a transgenerational sense, contemporary battles we face and fight and those personal demons we struggle to control.

Severely disturbing
The author really needs to warn the reader about the content. It is very disturbing. I could not finish the book because of the offensive and triggering nature of the material.

One of the worst
The Storyline was extremely shallow. The main Characters never had any depth. Story was fragmented.

Hard to Finish
Narrator was totally fine, it was the story that did nothing for me. The subject of abuse is a very real and awful experience, but I found this tale to be bland and filled with lackluster. The main character was so off putting to me that it took all I had to finish this book. I found myself listening to it to get it over with. As I’m not familiar with the author’s overall method of writing, I would give them another try and hope for the best. Not sure exactly what I was expected other than knowing my expectations were not met.
