Medford, Massachusetts Dec 2, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - While many people look at holidays as just something to "muddle through"—a season to endure until the New Year comes and life can return to some normalcy — there is a groundswell of readers who are embracing a new approach to family life, thanks to local author Judi Harrington's book, Fuckery: The Life and Times of a Legend (In Her Own Mind).
A collection of true stories celebrating family in all forms, Harrington regales readers with witty wisdom about family, like "Normal is a setting on a dryer" and "Stockholm Syndrome begins at home, and our first captors are our parents."
From the Catholic daughter who desperately wants a Jewish menorah for Christmas to the author's reckoning with her family's lineage of addiction and alcoholism, Harrington's debut memoir is a moving, rollicking journey that has left readers laughing and crying, sometimes both at once.
"If you love David Sedaris, you'll love Judi Harrington's honest take on marriage, family, kids, and all the hilarious chaos that unfolds in her life," says Alexandra Franzen, author of You're Going to Survive and So This Is the End: A Love Story
There's also more at play than life lessons around navigating relationships with those we love most but who also drive us nuts.
As Harrington discusses on her website, www.judiharrington.com, there is a linguistic mission behind Fuckery; the author's unyielding desire to have the title word legitimized by its inclusion in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.
"Words are my oxygen. So, imagine my dismay when I learned that my favorite word, which encapsulates my very being, is NOT in the dictionary."
Harrington's website issues her battle cry to the masses by inviting readers to be part of her dream by reading the book, adopting "fuckery” into their personal lexicons, and using it in writing when the opportunity arises.
"We can do this! We can spread the fuckery and GET IT INTO THE DICTIONARY!"
Harrington's book is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Bookshop.org, just in time for the holiday book-buying season.
