- Synopsis
- With the caustic daring of Brett Easton Ellis and the offbeat, psychological insight of Douglas Coupland, You Crushed It is a captivating exploration of love and the corroding nature of power in creative industries.Raph Massi is crushing it. A young up-and-coming comedian, he' s successfully navigating the internal cosmos of the stand-up industry and burying long-borne insecurities with each successful gig. He does so with the support of his girlfriend, Laurie, who narrates the book, sharing their sensual, mundane moments of new love and the creative collaborations that follow.But, when Laurie dumps him, Raph' s heartbreak metastasizes into paranoia, cruelty, and a path that is as lonely as it is destructive. Baril Gué rard shares an exacting portrayal of the innermost thoughts we hide from the world and from ourselves. The result is a devastating critique of the soft underbelly of toxic masculinity and the complicated ferocity of those who protect it.You Crushed It is an eminently readable, witty reflection on artistic prowess, community, and the intoxication of success.
