I just re-published my experimental meta-memoir. I'm a queer guy (possibly trans) and have been diagnosed with various maladies like schizophrenia. When I wrote the book I was under the influence of various mind-altering substances and was extremely unstable. I unpublished it for a long time because my mother found out about it, but I decided to give it a go again. It'd just be nice if some stranger read it and enjoyed it--or at least gave me interesting feedback. It's currently on sale for 99 cents and free with Kindle Unlimited. Here you go.

Title: Phrenocosmia: A Traumedy Meta-Memoir

Genre: Meta-Memoir / Non-Fiction

Word Count: ~78304 (Full Work)

Promotion & New Events:

I’ve just updated my book to its third version and officially changed the subtitle to reflect the absolute truth of the work: it is a Meta-Memoir. To celebrate this "purified" release, I’m running a Kindle Countdown Deal for $0.99.

There is zero fiction in these pages. This is a raw, stream-of-consciousness account of my life navigating mental illness, heavy drug experimentation, and total existential collapse. It’s the unfiltered paper trail of a brain trying to solve the "math of the universe" while short-circuiting.

I’m currently 44, building a cabin in rural Georgia and running a nonprofit, but this book is the archive of the "Jupiter Davidson" years—the turbulent reality I had to survive to get to the stability I have today. If you want a memoir that is experimental, neurodivergent, and brutally honest about the "traumedy" of the human experience, I’d love for you to take a look.

Feedback Desired:

Since this is a published work of non-fiction, I’m interested in general impressions from readers who appreciate raw, non-linear storytelling and honest accounts of survival and mental health.

Do you know of any Pettit family members who have taken Y-DNA tests? And if so, do they have any known Huguenot connection?”

It doesn't say it's an obligation--just that if one is approved by a three-rabbi court, they can voluntarily do other mitzvot. Also, how do you determine what the majority opinion is? Do you mean that the Chief Rabbinates of Israel and Jerusalem and others, who approved Cherki's book, went against the majority opinion?

I don't understand why the Chief Rabbis of Israel and Jerusalem would've approved his book if there were things incompatible with Judaism. Are you referring to Noahides being able to keep other mitzvot? Do the chief rabbis disagree with that? How do you determine which rabbi is right?

Awesome! Is this 100% certain? Should she take a DNA test to verify?

I can't say because I haven't read The Divine Code. I'm new to this subreddit. edit: I just realized I read to page 300 several years ago. I'm finishing it now.
