Description

Obsessive was, still is, my natural state. I didn't know that other people could feel at peace. Writer and journalist Marianne Eloise was born obsessive. Her obsessions change day to day, depending on what her brain latches onto: fixations with certain topics, intrusive violent thoughts, looping phrases. Some obsessions have lasted a lifetime, while others will be intense but only last a week or two. In this book, Marianne shares her experiences, exploring the intersection of neurodivergence, fixation and disorder. She tells the story of one life underpinned and ultimately made whole by obsession. The essays offer a glimpse into Marianne's brain, as well as insights into the lives of others like her. They explore topics such as death, Medusa, Disneyland, fire, LA, and even her dog.
