A heart-wrenching, funny
and fresh debut about human connection and the power of
friendship
Struggling to cope with a tragic
loss, Denis Murphy has, for the past seven years, learned to
live differently. His friends are used to his strict
routines, like ironing his socks and lighting his fireplace
every Sunday (even in the summer). His forlorn mother puts
up with his strange "no touching" antics, even though all
she wants is a hug from her son. Really, the only problem is
the four monsters he has for roommates. This ragtag bunch
run his life, determined to create chaos in his orderly
world.
Then Rebecca, Denis's enigmatic ex-girlfriend
from his former life, returns to town. Shocked to meet the
new Denis—a broken man, unable to manage even the most basic
social interactions—she becomes fixated on bringing back the
funny, charismatic man she once loved. As Denis begins to
emerge from his sheltered existence and rediscover the
person he used to be, the monsters declare all-out war.
Denis is finally forced to confront the demons that share
his house, and his head.
By turns heartbreaking and
heartwarming, Me, Myself and Them deftly explores
mental illness with compassion and in entirely original
terms. With wit and charm, Dan Mooney offers a wholly new
perspective on the effects of grief and the power of human
connection.
