Sure, I'll Join Your CultSure, I'll Join Your Cult

"Maria Bamford is a comedian's comedian (an outsider among outsiders) and has long fought to find a place to belong. From struggling with an eating disorder as a child of the 1980s to navigating a career in the arts (and medical debt and psychiatric institutionalization), she has tried just about every method possible to not only be a part of the world but to want to be a part of it. In Bamford's signature voice, Sure, I'll Join Your Cult takes us on her quest to participate in something. With sincerity and transparency, she recounts every anonymous fellowship she has joined (including but not limited to: Debtors Anonymous, Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, and Overeaters Anonymous) and every hypomanic episode (she worries about selling out under capitalism and staunchly enforces union rule son the set of her Netflix show to protect her health). Singular and inimitable, Bamford's memoir explores what it means to keep going, and to be a member of society (or any group she's invited to join) despite not being very good at it. In turn, she hopes to transform isolating experiences into comedy that will make you feel less alone (without the hassle of joining an actual cult)" -- Container.
