Episodes: My Life as I See It

“Blaze is brave. Blaze is bold . . . Blaze has a capacity to translate the often untranslatable differences of human beings . . . A triumph!” —Jamie Lee Curtis

Episodes is a memoir like no other. Debut writer, Blaze Ginsberg, offers a unique perspective on his life as a highly-functioning autistic twenty-one-year-old. Inspired by the format of the Internet Movie Database, Blaze organizes his life events as a collection of episodes. Some episodes are still running, some are in syndication, and some have sadly come to an end. With an innovative style and approach that is all its own, Episodes reinvents the traditional memoir; and it will inspire young readers to see the world as they've never seen it before.

“This memoir is like nothing else you’ve ever read . . . Blaze gives readers and writers of all ages an innovative approach to memoir . . . and, for those who live or work with students with diverse learning strategies, he gives us a privileged passport to a dynamic and complex inner life.” —Shelf Awareness

“Hey, have you seen the one about the guy making sense of his life through television? I sat on my sofa all night and couldn’t take my eyes off it. It’s got a pace and an energy I haven’t seen for seasons. Check it out, it’s one of the best things on, a great, great show.” —Daniel Handler, author of A Series of Unfortunate Events

“Each passage functions as a minimalist gateway into his passions, dreams, fears and desires.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Ginsberg give readers a unique glimpse into an adolescent mind that is simply wired differently.” —School Library Journal
