As I finish reading this book, I wish I could give it to every teacher and elected official in the country. Where else could they get this understanding of what it's like to live as a good many of their students/constituents live, with drugged relatives and unstable homes and prevalent abuse and moments of love? And I want to give it to all my friends who love good writing and wry humour. And to all those who would marvel at how the book consistently uses the growing child's voice, presenting events as the child experienced them.Since I can't give it to you all, go get it! Read it and weep, and laugh, and remember your own growing up and rejoice that this man grew out of his chaotic childhood into a person able and willing to write this exceptionall book.
Very impressed at Schmidt's debut book, 400 pages simply flew by. Jason has an amazing voice and style for the teen audience. At first I thought it too realistic and abrasive for a young readership, and then recognized that shielding / abridging / censoring is the last thing this audience wants. They can handle it. I found that the book stirred in me several emotions which made me appreciate the power of Jason's writing and his story: Incredulity at the events that spanned his young life; Empathy for how awful teen life can be and how cruel the players within it; Guilt for being a part of a system that allowed families like his to slip through the cracks and endure such hardship. A worthy read, certainly. My only complaint goes along with the challenges of writing a memoir - how to narrate and how to end it. I found myself wanting storytelling like Oscar Wao (albeit fiction) and an ending like Glass Castle; instead, the reader is left with hope but not a promise of a better day, which ended up being perhaps more thought-provoking in the end.
It is important that you read this book. And, conveniently, you'll enjoy it, too.Here's why: The author provides true stories, and doesn't tell you how to interpret those stories or what to make of a world that allows children to have such experiences. He does, however, tell the stories with just enough distance and wit to make them readable; without humor, the sadness and cruelty and neglect might be too hard to acknowledge, but with humor, it's fascinating and illuminating, and, well, funny!If you don't know such stories already, you're missing key elements of what it is to live in this world. If you already know similar stories, because you've seen them (whether through your own eyes or a friend's) I think you'll enjoy this viewpoint, and the sense that you (or your friend) is not alone.This book is a lovely proof that your upbringing need not define your adulthood, and that one person can make a huge difference for another. Read it for awareness and for inspiration. Then pass it on to others!A great read for adults as well as young adults.
So much of how Jason Schmidt and I grew up is so vastly divergent that it was the sharp and narrowly focused similarities that leapt out at me: we both had the same cap pistol, which replicated either the single or double action of an actual Colt revolver; we both shared a teenage obsession with knifes, throwing stars, clubs and cudgels; we both used the cat-calling affirmation of gay men on Seattle's Capitol Hill to boost our self-esteem at low points in our lives. Where I had an over-abundance of family (or so it felt at times), Jason really only ever had his father, and the “friends†his father brought into their precariously shared life.I can pretty much guarantee a similar experience for you, dear potential reader. Your life has been nothing like Jason Schmidt's life, but you inevitably share intimate biographical details with him: vulnerabilities and tiny triumphs. And he makes these sing for you.Jason's masterful capturing of the essence of what it means to grow up lonely will haunt you.As promised in the title, the book is a long list of things that could’ve killed the author, but for my money the most evocative of these was also the most metaphoric: a spare tire bouncing down a highway, achieving nightmarish heights of sixty feet or more, before falling back down directly in front of the car kid Jason was a passenger in.More than any other work of art, A LIST OF THINGS THAT DIDN’T KILL ME Puts me in mind of S.J. Chiro's LANE 1974, in that it's a necessary portal into a unique and fascinating world you didn't even know existed before Jason started telling you about.If you live in Seattle, or ever have; if you've lost a parent, or ever will; if you think there might be something deeply wrong with you, or someone you love, this book will speak to you. Deeply.
This book is a must read for anyone who enjoys reading memoirs. It's especially refreshing to read a memoir of a non-celebrity. Schmidt does a great job of creating a chaotic setting of life on the fringe in the 1980's. This one is a real page turner and goes by very fast. Highly recommend! My only complaint is that the "story" ends when he is ~18 years old and you never really hear about what happened during the next 25 years.
Harrowing. Enthralling. Fascinating. Inspiring. I wish I had Jason Schmidt's facility with words to adequately describe the impact of this book. Knowing that he survived this horrifying childhood to become a productive and successful man, as well as a loving and gentle husband and father, fills me with hope.
