"Attempting Normal is Marc Maron’s journey through the wilderness
of his own mind, a collection of explosively, painfully, addictively
funny stories that add up to a moving tale of hope and hopelessness, of
failing, flailing, and finding a way. From standup to television to his
outrageously popular podcast, WTF with Marc Maron, Marc has
always been a genuine original, a disarmingly honest, intensely smart,
brutally open comic who finds wisdom in the strangest places. This is
his story of the winding, potholed road from madness and obsession and
failure to something like normal, the thrillingly comic journey of a
sympathetic f***up who’s trying really hard to do better without making
a bigger mess. Most of us will relate."
