\"\"<\/a>Plain-spoken and raw, Anna Marie Tendler bears all in this vulnerable biography<\/a>.\u00a0 \u00a0In short, it covers *most of*<\/strong> her male relationships from pre-teen to present.\u00a0 They all shape her, the artist, as a single cumulative work – even the ones that are hurtful, traumatic or unfair.\u00a0 If you’re tuning in like I did in hopes of salacious details on recent ex-husband John Mulaney, you will find nothing here.\u00a0 Every other dude she crossed paths with, affirmative.\u00a0 But not one iota about Baby J<\/a>.\u00a0 And that’s more than fine.\u00a0 If the best revenge is “living well”, then this radio silence is a dish served ice-cold.<\/p>\n

Confession:\u00a0 Somehow I could handle the mental health breakdown, suicidal ideation, and the loss of will to live.\u00a0 But I had to bail at the end of the book when her fur child, Petunia, crossed the rainbow bridge.\u00a0 May you be stronger.\u00a0 Incidentally, Petunia was her sole recorded reason to live<\/a> during inpatient hospitalization.<\/p>\n

As evidenced by her leaps and bounds, Tendler clearly draws from a deep well of multidisciplinary artistic talent. And, as it turns out, she’s great at audiobook narration.\u00a0 However, she portrays her employment story arc as that of an itinerant chimney sweep of a creative.\u00a0 One minute she’s a struggling art student, the next doing makeup and hair in Hollywood.\u00a0 Then she’s setting records at art shows — the medium, photography.\u00a0 The current (and lucrative) endeavor is custom-crafted Victorian lampshades<\/a>.\u00a0 Methinks she’s more humble than merely failing upwards.<\/p>\n
