In poetic, nuanced prose she charts in \u003ci\u003eWhip Smart\u003c\/i\u003e how unchecked risk-taking eventually gave way to a course of self-destruction. But as she recounts crossing over the very boundaries that she set for her own safety, she never plays the victim. In fact, the glory of this memoir is Melissa's ability to illuminate the strange and powerful truths that she learned as she found her way out of a hell of her own making. Rest assured; the reader will emerge from the journey more or less unscathed.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMelissa Febos\u003c\/b\u003e, author of\u003ci\u003e Whip Smart\u003c\/i\u003e, is co-curator and host of the Mixer Reading and Music Series.
