Borne on Ego's Wings: A Secular Apocrypha

"Joshua Joseph Burkett is a master of the mind tweak." - Neil Alex, MD. His first memoir, Pursue Us with Mercy is wickedly funny, drawing comparisons to Augusten Burrough's Running with Scissors. Borne on Ego's Wings, Joshua Joseph Burkett's second creative non-fiction memoir, focuses on his tumultuous twenties. In the first section, Remnants, we meet in a recently unearthed early manuscript, the broken writer before he commits his ruinous sex crime. In its second half, we sample some of his early short stories. The writing is sharp, earnest, and makes for a memoir that is hard to put down. "Pursue Us with Mercy was a bloodletting. Borne on Ego's Wings, my second book, is a side-long leer at the writer that did all the bleeding. It is less of a memoir than an autopsy." - Joshua Joseph Burkett, Borne on Ego's Wings
