Haney’s childhood, where he happily poses naked for the director of his summer camp; to adolescence, when he worries that he’s going to commit murder; to young adulthood, when he tries to ‘borrow’ money from an ATM and contemplates taking a crowbar to his girlfriend’s head; to adulthood, where he writes screenplays that he considers so bad he unsuccessfully tries to report his to own death. It is a tribute to Haney's immense charisma, brutal honesty, and charming prose that in spite of everything he confesses, one can’t help but fall hopelessly in love with him.” - Jessica Anya Blau, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Summer of Naked Swim Parties\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDrinking Closer to Home\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“D.R.
