The Sane One
In this emotional and laugh-out-loud coming-of-age memoir, the co-creator of Huluâs brilliant Pen15 grapples with the reappearance of her estranged fatherâand whether itâs possible to reconnect before itâs too late.
âAnna Konkle is generous enough to bring her comic sensibilities to a story that could have well have been a tragedy. She speaks for all the âsane onesâ out there who never agreed to play that part.ââAmy Sedaris
Throughout Anna Konkleâs childhood, her father was her heroâa hyper-charismatic, larger-than-life human resource manager at 7-Eleven. But their closeness was constantly interrupted by the screaming matches and heavy silences between him and her mother, eventually culminating in a bitter divorce that literally split the family house down the middle, with one parent on each side.
College felt like freedom, and Anna filled her time searching for the husband sheâd never divorce and the orgasm sheâd never had, while waiting tables at fancy restaurants and getting lackluster acting gigs, the strangest of which had her working celebrity Halloween parties. But just as she begins to thrive, her father starts to struggle. Not long after she moves to LA to pursue acting and writing, her dadâs increasingly erratic behavior forces her to cut off contact with him, until, years later, he knocks at her door.
Written in intimately beautiful prose, The Sane One is a tragicomic memoir of growing up, falling apart, getting older, and trying to come back together while thereâs still time.
