About this product
Product Information
This celebrated memoir, one of the most notable literary debuts of 2023 tells of a young woman's coming-of-age in the bohemian '90s, as her adolescence gives way to a struggle with dissociative disorder. Alice Carrière tells the story of her unconventional upbringing in Greenwich Village as the daughter of a remote mother, the renowned artistJennifer Bartlett,and a charismatic father, European actorMathieu Carrière. From an early age, Alice is forced to navigate her mother's recovered memories of ritualised sexual abuse, which she turns into art, and her father's confusing attentions. Her days are a mixture of privilege, neglect, loneliness, and danger -- a child living in an adult's world, with little-to-no enforcement of boundaries or supervision. When she enters adolescence, Alice begins to lose her grasp on reality, as a dissociative disorder erases her identity and overzealous doctors medicate her further away from herself. She inhabits various roles: as a patient in expensive psychiatric hospitals, a denizen of the downtown New York music scene, the ingenue in destructive encounters with older men--ricocheting from experience to experience untila medication-induced psychosis brings these personas crashing down. Eventually, she finds purpose in caring for her mother as she descends into dementia, in a love affair with a recovering addict who steadies her, in confronting her father whose words and actions splintered her, and in finding her voice as a writer. With gallows humour and brutal honesty, Everything/Nothing/Someone explores what it means for our body and mind to belong to us wholly, irrevocably, and on our own terms. In pulsing, energetic prose that is both precise and probing, Alice manages to untangle the stories told to her by her parents, the American psychiatric complex, and her own broken mind to craft a unique and mesmerising narrative of emergence and, finally, cure. 'An intense but finely written book in the manner of classic coming-of-age memoirs like The Bell Jar .' -- Vogue 'Told with a visceral candor and in heartbreaking detail, Everything/Nothing/Someone will stay in your mind for a long time.' -- Real Simple

What a writer!" --Molly Shannon, author of the New York Times bestseller Hello, Molly!

One of the most compelling first-person memoirs I've read in a long time."--Bret Easton Ellis, Bret Easton Ellis Podcast "Creatively exceptional . . . This isn't only about Carrière's life. It's also about how people make art and build family, how philosophy . . . intersects with lived experience, and how people try and fail to connect."--Booklist (starred review) "Carrière's surgically precise prose compresses her broken-glass experiences into hard diamond truths about family trauma and the mental health industry. This brutal, illuminating account reads like a contemporary Girl, Interrupted."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A spellbinding memoir."--Kirkus (starred review) "I don't know which is more stunning: the triumph of this life, or the triumph of this beautiful book. Or perhaps they are one and the same. Out of the ashes of a childhood that may have appeared shiny on its surface but was unnerving and profoundly lonely, Alice Carrière has made art. Everything/Nothing/Someone is a master class in memoir."--Dani Shapiro, New York Times bestselling author of Inheritance "Propulsive, intense, moving, and breathtakingly honest, this searing memoir about family ties, trampled boundaries, and mental illness is completely unforgettable. What a writer!"--Molly Shannon, New York Times bestselling author of Hello, Molly ! "This unsparing memoir reveals Alice Carrière's extraordinary courage, her brilliance, her willingness to forgive, and her understanding that you hold your life on the condition that you will struggle hard in your search for an unmistakable self."--Susanna Moore, author of Miss Aluminum "I read this brilliant book in one mad gulp. The prose is like a fever dream; Alice Carrière is an amazing writer. What a story--from start to finish."--Kate Christensen, PEN/Faulkner Award-winning author of The Great Man, "Propulsive, intense, moving, and breathtakingly honest, this searing memoir about family ties, trampled boundaries, and mental illness is completely unforgettable. What a writer!"--Molly Shannon, "Remarkable . . . A timeless tale of surviving emotional neglect and mental illness; but it is also the story of a singular household filled with complex and exceptional artists, and the author''s experience of inheriting their prodigious legacy. . . . Raw, filled with sorrow, dark humor and sharp observation." -- New York Times Book Review "An intense but finely written book in the manner of classic coming-of-age memoirs like The Bell Jar ." -- Vogue "Extraordinary, relatable, beautiful . . . The do-or-die question of memoir--do we care?--is answered in the form of a direct pipeline to the reader''s heart." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune " Everything/Nothing/Someone will stay in your mind for a long time." -- Real Simple "A story of immense bravery and resilience. It is clear, too, that this book was written by an exceptional human being, one with a remarkable capacity for forgiveness and a keen ability to see ''love hidden in the heart of our failings and misfortunes.''" -- Washington Post "Wild, dark, riveting . . . Everything/Nothing/Someone is held together, even elevated, by the force of Carrière''s honesty, which lives in her prose." -- Chapter 16 "Spare and direct, with flashes of Didionesque elegance . . . The writing of this book and the presentation of Carrière''s life is brutal and honest and funny and shocking. . . . One of the most compelling first-person memoirs I''ve read in a long time." --Bret Easton Ellis, Bret Easton Ellis Podcast "Creatively exceptional . . . This isn''t only about Carrière''s life.

The memoir ultimately enters an elegiac phase of tenderness and surprising beauty." --Chapter 16 "Extraordinary, relatable, beautiful . . . With bullseye details and inspired writing, Carrière draws the reader into her story. The final section, when she becomes "someone," is filled with moments that resonate. Her reconciliations with both parents are enormously satisfying and moving, as is her marriage to a great love who only barely survives his own self-destructive tendencies. The do-or-die question of memoir--do we care?--is answered in the form of a direct pipeline to the reader''s heart." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune "An intense but finely written book in the manner of classic coming-of-age memoirs like The Bell Jar." -- Vogue "Told with a visceral candor and in heartbreaking detail, Everything/Nothing/Someone will stay in your mind for a long time." -- Real Simple "Spare and direct, with flashes of Didionesque elegance . . .

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
