A Life in Too Many Margins

De: S. E. Thomson

Narrado por: André Santana

A Life in Too Many Margins is a literary episodic tale featuring David, an autistic, chronically ill, and deeply exhausted queer individual. He's survived a few too many doctors with God complexes and an education system that couldn't accommodate a paper cut, let alone a brain like his. Now he's trying to keep it together long enough to get out and figure out what a life outside of survival mode even looks like.

Between unpredictable joints, cruel relationships, creeping dysphoria, and backward institutions that treat disabled people like spreadsheet errors, David's not sure how much longer he can keep pretending to be "fine." In A Life in Too Many Margins, David finds unexpected connections along the way, through equally chaotic friends, a dungeon master who lets him play with varying gender options, and one particularly random German policeman on a sheep farm. This audiobook captures what it means to grow up disabled and trans in a world that keeps trying to file you away.

Told in a raw, unfiltered memoir-style voice, through a fractured mix of rambles, rants, essays, and letters from the edge of burnout, A Life In Too Many Margins is a darkly funny, emotionally gutting, defiantly hopeful debut about refusing to disappear. It blends fictional storytelling with sharp narrative nonfiction and cultural criticism to examine what it means to live in a system that pathologizes difference.
