A Destructive Friend

A dos-a-dos book on parasitic, delusional and destructive friendships: one desperately clinging on while the other ignoring that sentiment. Text taken from Ep 810: Say It to My Face from This American Life. Working with hyper-experimental typesetting and redacted text, the book challenges the concept of the narrative. What defines a story anyways?

Special thanks to Ian Cozzens and Fleet Library for the Laurie Whitehill Purchase Prize in the 10th Baker & Whitehill Student Artists' Book Contest. Check out my book in RISD’s Special Collections!
