Blue Jeans

Blue Jeans captures the emotional and psychological chaos of the author's recovery from a nervous breakdown. The decentered narrative of vignettes from therapy sessions, memories, dreams, and real events challenges the reader to construct a narrative in a way that mirrors JD's process of collecting and piecing back together the shattered remains of the self.

While the specific circumstances in the book are those of its author, the larger issues tackled in Blue Jeans are those of the contemporary human condition: how to cope when you can barely survive, how to find yourself when you are utterly lost, and how to move forward when the past holds you back.
