(Paperback)

Possums Run Amok is arollicking, slyly hilarious, at times uncomfortable and dark memoir. With fearless candor, Lora Lafayette recounts her life from a delinquent, late 1970s punk rock adolescence through a crooked, manic, transatlantic path to adulthood and her eventual terrifying descent into schizophrenia, all the while trying to wrest as much wild joy as she can out of life.
