Triggered A Memoir of Obsessive-Compulsive

A brilliant young author takes us on a journey through the agonizing psychological landscape of mental illness as populated by God, girls, and apocalyptic nightmares. Even more than this, the author emerges as a preternatural talent and voice of the millennial age. In this acid bath of a memoir, Wortmann peppers his gripping story with a kaleidoscope of culture high and low ranging from his obsessions with David Bowie, X-Men and Pokemon, to an eclectic education shaped by Shakespeare, Kierkegaard, Catholic mysticism and Christian comic books, the social scene at the "People's Republic of Swarthmore," and his stay at the OCD Institute in Massachusetts. The perfectread for fans of Wes Anderson movies, Patton Oswalt's humor, or simply pitch-perfect memoirs, Triggered is a touching, triumphantly funny, compulsively readable, and ultimately uplifting coming-of-age tale for Generation Anxiety.

FLETCHER WORTMANN has been variously employed as a Writing Instructor, SAT tutor, “Party Associate,” record store clerk, and farm-stand hand. He was born and raised in Winchester, Massachusetts, and currently lives in Philadelphia, where he is working toward his MFA in Creative Writing at Temple University. Wortmann also performs with the New York/Philadelphia-based sketch comedy group the Disappointments. He remains cautiously optimistic.

"At times horrifying, at times terribly funny...Bravo!"—Janine Latus, New York Times bestselling author of If I Am Missing or Dead

“Jack Kerouac's On the Road for OCD and the 21st century.”—Jonathan Grayson, PhD., author of Freedom from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
