Scream

”[A] giddily wacky memoir” – Washington Post “Janowitz’s greatest strength has always been her bluntness, and there’s certainly no lack of it in Scream.” – The Guardian “The account of Janowitz’s desolation…is genuinely affecting.” – Harper’s Magazine “Although her life has been unique, there are universal elements, which she writes about with honesty and humor.” – Bustle “[This time] Tama turns the criticism on herself and offers insight, humor and detail in a way that’s not afraid to touch on the strange parts of life.” – Buzzfeed “…grim, and hilarious, Janowitz’s primal scream exposes…the highs and lows of her writing life, and the boons and traumas of fame and love.” – Booklist “…Scream, a sharp memoir that follows her life from ‘80s excess to a calmer, though no less astutely observed, present day.” – Town & Country “…first-rate memoir that cuts with razor-sharp insight through the truth about living life after youth.” – DuJour “In this fantastic mid-life memoir, Tama details everything from her mother’s dementia to her daughter’s angsty teenage years.” – Brit + Co
