Possums Run Amok: A True Tale Told Slant | Lora Lafayette

1 post | 1 read | 1 to read

Possums Run Amok is a rollicking, slyly hilarious, at times uncomfortable and dark memoir wherein the author and two friends are nicknamed The Possumettes. With fearless candor, Lora Lafayette recounts her life from a delinquent, late 1970s punk rock adolescence through a crooked, manic, transatlantic path to adulthood and her eventual terrifying descent into schizophrenia. Whip smart, daring, and inventive, Lafayette navigates the harsh realities of being a risk-taking adventurous young woman while seeking to wrest all the wild joy she can out of life. Her story reveals how blurry the line can be between real and unreal, choice and force. It lays bare the startling lack of empathy and services in society for those in crisis. Her voice is singular, her language full of shining unconventional metaphor. Deeply uncomfortable, laugh-out-loud funny, and devastatingly moving, Possums Run Amok is equal parts challenging and entertaining.

Possums Run Amok: A True Tale Told Slant | Lora Lafayette

TW/CW: SA, R*pe, Drug Ab*se, S*ic*de, Mental Illness, Domestic Ab*se

A surreal and frenzied fever dream, Possums Run Amok is a memoir of the manic freedom of a feral youth that could only exist during the brief window into the wild that was the late 60s & 70s. Like the rambling testimony of a midnight stranger in a desert highway truckstop diner, this book leaves you unsettled and unsure of what you've witnessed but grateful that you did.
