- Summary:
- In this acid bath of a memoir, Wortmann peppers his gripping story of his obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) with a kaleidoscope of culture high and low ranging from his obsessions with David Bowie, X-Men and Pokmon to an eclectic education shaped by Shakespeare, Kierkegaard, Catholic mysticism and Christian comic books, and his stay at the OCD Institute in Massachusetts.
