BOOKMARKED: HOW THE GREAT WORKS OF WESTERN LITERATURE F*CKED UP MY LIFE

THE REVIEWS ARE IN!

“Scarbrough’s memoir is a riveting read, a story of his quest for love and home told in galloping prose that takes us through decades, identities, new beginnings, and second chances. It’s a brave delving into his personal history peopled with characters as indelible as those in the literature he reveres until discovering that real life can’t be read or performed. Luminous with grace and compassion, reflection and wit, it’s about who we are once we stop falling for the stories others tell us and those we tell ourselves.”

-Helen Klein Ross, bestselling author of WHAT WAS MINE and THE LATECOMERS

"Mark Scarbrough summons a host of greats — Chaucer to Henry James — to show the danger of accepting the stories we are told by our parents, our partners, and even the very authors whose books we treasure. In a brave, singular memoir that is equal parts charm, wit, and withering self-reflection, he recounts his journey through literature and life to find a self that is truly his.”

-Will Schwalbe, New York Times bestselling author of THE END OF YOUR LIFE BOOK CLUB
