A Destructive Friend is a dos-a-dos poetry book on parasitic, delusional and destructive friendships: one desperately clinging on while the other rejects and fails to reciprocate. The text is 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.
