Description
“At the prompting of a marketing friend, I was advised to title this book, My Intensely Madcap, Lebanese/Cajun, Jesuit-Schizoid, Terminally Narcissistic, Food-Focused, East Coast/West Coast, Georgetown/Yale, Career-Changing, Cross-Dressing, Runaway Catholic Italophile, Paradoxically Dramatic, Linguistically Neurotic, Hollywood Academic, ADD-Overcompensating, Niche-Abhorring, Jocoserious Obit. But when my designer pointed out that title wouldn’t fit on the spine, much less on any public display list, I changed my mind. Again! The story of my life.
Which this is at least the first volume of. I hope it makes you laugh, spares you some of my grief, and leads you to insist on telling your story to anyone who will listen.”

Atchity writes with candor about his childhood experiences, some painful, some humorous, and all very personal. Anyone who has grown up in a large, traditional family and struggled to find their place within their family, and subsequently in the world, will find this book validating and motivating.

What an amazing life! I really enjoyed being introduced
to the author’s traditional family recipes, getting in depth details on the nuances of his challenging family relationship dynamics and the out of the ballpark career adventures that only one man could have had. It reminds me how much we all have in common and yet, how incredibly unique each of our lives are.
