Born Frustrated

By Michael Essington

"Michael Essington writes like a man on a mission from hell. His memoir evokes the same hard-bitten, hard-earned wisdom that marked departed giants like Jim Carroll and Eddie Little. Unlike them, Essington has survived to tell his harrowing story. Born Frustrated serves up a world of violence and drugs with style and heart. It's a book had to be lived before it could be written. " -Jerry Stahl, author of Permanent Midnight Stories rising from and returning to Essington's personal experiences reflect people, objects, places, and events of the external world, and reflects on them, on their way out and back. Michael Essington's legend continues to grow. Born Frustrated is a masterfully vivid evocation of slow-paced, low-life urbanity and alcoholism, and an excellent introduction to the literary world of Michael Essington.
