by Owen Calongne (Author)
I used to think this was a book about addiction. It isn't.
For almost twenty years, Owen Calongne buried himself in drugs and alcohol. He survived everything from arrests to overdoses, with nothing but broken relationships and brief stretches of sobriety in between. Underneath it all was the desperate belief that there would always be one more chance to get his life back together. In the fever pitch of a drama so outlandish he has to convince himself he actually survived it, Owen found himself surrounded by people the rest of the world had mostly forgotten. Addicts, criminals, gangsters, dealers, friends, lovers, sons, daughters. They got sober together and relapsed together. They lied to one another, stole from one another, forgave one another. And for a while, in the isolated little worlds they built together, they were all they had. Most of them are dead now. The Bones of My Ghosts is an ode to those who didn't survive, a love letter to the family who continued caring about Owen even when he gave them every reason not to, and a meditation on the guilt of being alive to tell the story.
And when the worst years are finally behind him, only one question remains:
