Inhaltsangabe

Ever since his mother first handed him any VHS tape from the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection line as a toddler, author Jeffrey Davies has been infatuated with pop culture. As he grew up, he came to understand the transformative power of movies, TV, books, and music to speak for us when we don’t have the words, how they teach us lessons we didn’t know we needed to learn until we rewatch Labyrinth in our twenties and realize the indelible imprint certain stories, and King Jareth’s crotch, can leave on us.

In his first collection of essays, some previously published and some never before seen, Davies examines the pop culture that has shaped his life and allowed him to achieve some sense of inner peace in a chaotic world, at least until the end credits. Whether it’s Nancy Drew teaching him that gender roles aren’t real or Sydney Bristow from Alias quite literally saving his life, Self-Analysis Addict is a love letter to the pieces of media that provide us with different lenses through which to better understand the world, and to fill in the blanks in our own lives when we can’t bear to do it ourselves.
