“A disturbing, richly conveyed story of dysfunction and warped love.… Aron’s dark, gorgeously narrated memoir of destructive codependency will captivate readers.”—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
“In Aron's candid and heart-wrenching memoir, the gnarled knots of love and addiction are untied and tangled and tied again…. Her compassion for victims of addiction never wavers, and her presentation of the addicted people in her life is dynamic and fair. A beautiful, nuanced portrait of living alongside addiction.”—Booklist, Starred Review
“A raw and eloquently unflinching memoir.”—Kirkus Reviews
“I was riveted by Nina Aron’s incandescent memoir from the first page to the last. What a marvel this book is, that such a harrowing subject can be rendered with such tenderness. Any person who has ever put herself in harm’s way for love will see herself in these pages. I have no doubt that this will be one of the best books of 2020.”—Mary Beth Keane, author of the New York Times bestselling Ask Again, Yes and Fever
“Aron is a truth-telling badass with an irresistible voice. Balancing extensive research with dazzling, affecting prose, Good Morning, Destroyer of Men’s Souls is both a whip-smart addition to the literature of addiction and an intimate look at the beating heart of codependency. It’s a propulsive story of empathy, desire, recklessness, and the things we risk for love. I couldn’t put it down.”—Kimberly King Parsons, author of the National Book Award–nominated Black Light
“Aron has expertly examined and reframed the traditional patriarchal structure of recovery literature, incorporating her own raw and gorgeously rendered story. Good Morning, Destroyer of Men’s Souls is for anyone touched by addiction, which is all of us. It is a stunning interrogation of family and love and what it means to lose yourself in another. At turns wild and punk rock, redemptive and heartfelt, this book feels like the book I’ve always been looking for.”—Chelsea Bieker, author of Godshot
“From the title to the final sentence, a wildly imaginative, feminine and feminist book with a palpable energetic power that feels as much incantation as memoir.” - Emma Forrest, author of Your Voice in My Head
