Description of Pictures: From standup to television to his popular podcast, WTF with Marc Maron, Maron is a disarmingly honest and intensely smart comic who finds wisdom in the strangest places.
Attempting Normal is Maron’s journey through the wilderness of his own mind, a collection of painfully funny stories about hope and hopelessness, failing, flailing, and finding a way.
Parent-scarred and angst-filled, Maron dreamed of a simple life: a wife, a home, a sitcom to call his own. But instead he woke up one day to find himself fired from his radio job, surrounded by feral cats, and emotionally and financially annihilated by a divorce. He tried to heal his broken heart through minor-league hoarding, shoplifting from Whole Foods, and flying airplanes with his mind, but nothing seemed to work.
Attempting Normal is his story of the winding road from madness and failure to something like normal, the journey of a sympathetic screw-up who’s trying hard to do better without making a bigger mess.
The speaker was introduced by Lisa Yochelson and ???.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
