The Jerusalem Syndrome: My Life as a Reluctant Messiah Audiobook (Free)

By the author of Attempting Normal and host from the podcast WTF with Marc Maron, The Jerusalem Syndrome may be the Gospel according to Maron: a religious memoir of the average hyperintelligent, ultraneurotic, superhip Jewish standup comedian and seeker.

The Jerusalem Symptoms is a genuine psychological phenomenon that often attacks people to the Holy Land_the delusion they are abruptly direct vessels for the voice of God. Marc Maron seems to have a distinctly American about The Jerusalem Symptoms: MY ENTIRE LIFE as a Reluctant Messiah version of the Jerusalem Symptoms, which has led him on the lifelong quest for spiritual significance and revelation in one of the most unlikely of locations.

Maron riffs on Defeat phenomena with its sacred text messages, established rituals, and prescribed pilgrimages. He spends some time exploring the dark aspect of factors, as his obsessions with cocaine (known to Maron as “magic powder”), conspiracy ideas, and popular self-destructive comedians convince him that the gates of hell open up beneath LA. As his goal matures, he reveals the religious aspects of Commercial America, pontificating for the classic beauty of the Coca-Cola logo design and even taking a trip towards the Philip Morris cigarette stock, where the workers puff their very own products with a zealot-like fervor. The culmination of Maron’s Jerusalem Syndrome comes during his very own tour from the Holy Property, where, with Sony video camera glued to his attention outlet, he comes face-to-face with his own ambiguous relationship to Judaism and gets to the brink of spiritual revelation_or is it nervous breakdown?

Marc Maron offers considerably modified and extended his praised one-man display to craft an authentic literary memoir. Whether he’s an authentic prophet or a neurotic mess, he’ll make you giggle as you query this is of life.

“Marc Maron is usually blazingly intelligent, rapid-fire, and incredibly funny . A brilliant and relentless screed.” -David Rakoff, writer of Fraud

“Marc Maron may be the first crazy person I’ve ever envied. In his brainiac-memoir-meets-hilarious-travelogue, he demonstrates the ability to tell a tale with a fantastic provocative intelligence that’s regrettably distributed by few.” _ Janeane Garofolo, comedian
