"I had stretched my egos beyond their limits, broken through the temporal veil of illusory reality, survived impossible odds, learned what love actually looks like, and then re-learned what it meant to be a human person... I had a lot to say, but it wasn't 'give away all your stuff and go on an adventure' anymore."
We first meet our protagonist as she struggles to stand after a long fall down to rock bottom. What follows is a manically organized collection of quantum poetry, automatic writing, personal essays, and the true story of one woman's journey hitch hiking, hooking, and praying her way around America in search of a place called Home.
Told through the voices of "at least nine" dissociative identities and compiled in the midst of 2020's apocalyptic fog, Jaqi Nix-Fuller's creative memoir takes the reader on a dizzying trip into madness, memory loss, and metaphysical revelations. Despite a lifetime of avid self-destruction, Jaqi Nix-Fuller is living proof that there's no such thing as a lost cause and that, with enough positivity, faith, and hope, it can get better.
"Wretch like me" is a collection of autobiographical short stories, philosophical essays, beat poetry, and theoretically fictional prose. This creative nonfiction memoir studies religious beliefs, spirituality, morality, and metaphysics. These topics come together to discuss Taoism, Zen Buddhism, Christianity and the Bible, Quantum Physics, Magic, Time Travel, Surrealism, Existential Nihilism, Unconditional Positivity, Asceticism, and the Power of Faith in an understandable, albeit nonsensical, way.
Through her experiences with surviving poverty, addiction, homelessness, prostitution, traumatic brain injuries, domestic violence, helplessness, memory loss, hospitals, and mental illness, she shares her understanding of reality, consciousness, and Truth.
