Hate Starve Curse: A Disagreeable Man's Search for Nothingness in the Face of Everythingness
By the time he turned 23, Austen James had everything a modern, educated, ambitious American man was supposed to want-unemployment, a 5150 to a psychiatric hospital, and cops swarming his front yard. But instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, he was consumed with panic, grief, and confusion. He went through repeated arrest, psychiatric abuse, and a high speed police chase. To recover from the complete eradication of everything he ever thought he was supposed to be, he took a radical step. In order to give himself the time and space to give up on meaningful goals and replace them with life platitudes, he got rid of his belongings, fixed up a wrecked motorcycle, left his loved ones behind, and undertook a year-long journey around the continent, all alone. Hate Starve Curse is the absorbing chronicle of how he lived that year..
