· Liar – Rob Roberge. March 9, By Nicole 1 Comment. Dates. Memories. Snippets of time. That’s how this memoir by Roberge starts out. Likely due to the (possible) memory-eroding disease, Roberge jumps from one memory to the next in a way that makes it difficult to pinpoint the timeline of the story. In one memory, you are in – in. As Liar twists and turns through Roberge's life, it turns the familiar story of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll on its head. Darkly funny and brutally frank, it offers a remarkable portrait of a down-and-out existence cobbled together across the country, from musicians' crashpads around Boston to seedy bars popular with sideshow freaks in Florida to a painful moment of reckoning in the scorched Wonder Valley .

Roberge writes, “You learn early that pain is as complex and wide-ranging as love itself,” and although emotional pain from trauma and depression is a major struggle throughout Liar, Roberge at times depicts self-inflicted or sexual pain as a kind of portal to a more transcendent place. Discuss your thoughts about physical pain as a form of self-medication, intimacy, self-destruction, or love.
