Description

The Father, the Dog and the Conspiracy Theorist is Cody Burke's unfiltered story of breaking down and breaking free. It's a raw, darkly funny memoir about mental breakdowns, paranoia, family damage and unique self-discovery. It moves between psychological spirals, absurd humour, and uncomfortable honesty as the author strives to "question everything". This memoir pulls you inside to not only the chaos of mental collapse, but to the chaos of evolution. You will find humour in the madness, hope in the heartbreak, and perhaps even you will begin to question everything. Just don't lose your head...

A Note From the Publisher

Readers who enjoy introspective memoirs with emotional depth, sharp self-awareness and biting humour will likely connect strongly. Those looking for a polished self-help guide or conventional narrative may not. The book features very divisive topics, so I encourage any readers to try and remain neutral and appreciate an authentic story and experience.
Honest reviews, positive or critical, are genuinely appreciated.

Advance Praise

"Compelling, very funny, heartbreaking. This was a very, very good read." - Booksprout ARC reader.

"An incredible level of honesty on the part of the author Cody Burke. He is ruthlessly self analytical and radically (painfully, at times) open about his experiences through Covid-19 and the years following. Even if you don't like him, you have to respect his willingness to put it all out there." - NetGalley ARC reader.

"There's a wholesome aspect to all his ranting and raving and alien talk. There's love! Lots of it! Which is endearing enough to give me the moxie to finish reading." - NetGalley ARC reader.
