THE MORE YOU HATE ME

THE MORE YOU HATE ME is a memoir-in-essays collection that examines the author’s experience with his father’s suicide and the layered influence of the film Full Metal Jacket on both men. As Andy Smart navigates the worlds of his past, present, and future, Kubrick's Vietnam War movie casts its long shadow over him; this is a story of what it means to live each day as a sequel to the last. This isn’t just a suicide memoir or a survivor’s victory lap, but a book about the hardest truths of being a son.
