Summary
An unnamed narrator stands trial for murder, speaking only to those who may decide his fatejudge, j ailer, lawyer, psychiatrist. Responding to a series of interrogative questions, he delivers a sprawling, digressive, and increasingly unhinged monologue that details a life both humorously dysfunctional and dangerously volatile, mired in the everyday and disgusted with banality, filled with love for his late mother and haunted by an abusive childhood spent "withdrawing into myself, body and soul."
