Punch Me Up to the Gods: A Memoir

★ Amazon – Best Biographies & Memoirs Books of the Year ★ Kirkus Prize ★ New York Time’s Notable Book

Punch Me Up to the Gods examines a Memoir, combining Brian Broome's clear narrative with the perspective of a biographical portrait. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the wider field of biography & autobiography. Throughout, the author balances an accessible narrative with the complexity needed to understand motives, constraints, and disputed interpretations. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention. The approach makes a specialized subject understandable without stripping away its tensions or ambiguity.
