Alice's iconoclastic European father was a fleeting, atmospheric disturbance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlice grows up as a child living in an adult's world, with little-to-no boundaries or supervision. As she enters adolescence, a dissociative disorder erases her identity, and overzealous doctors medicate her further into madness. In the absence of self, she inhabits various roles: as a patient in expensive psychiatric hospitals, the ingenue in destructive encounters with older men, a provocateur who weaponizes intellectual dazzle and outrageous candor--until a medication-induced psychosis brings these personas crashing down. Finally, a soulful connection with a generous and sensitive musician allows her to free herself from the pathologies that defined her and recognize her true self. With gallows humor and brutal honesty, Carrière has written a unique and mesmerizing narrative of emergence and, at last, cure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44070405505069,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_58f2b19a-9094-4d85-a44b-6d89b87065f1.jpg?v=1765796042","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/everything-nothing-someone-a-memoir-1","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
