The Misfit’s Manifesto By: Lidia Yuknavitch [Audiobook]

Author: Lidia Yuknavitch
Narrated by: Lidia Yuknavitch, Melanie Alldritt, Jason Arias, Sean Davis, Zach Ellis, Melissa Febos

A self-defined misfit makes a powerful case for not fitting in – for recognizing the beauty, and difficulty, in forging an original path. 

A misfit is a person who missed fitting in, a person who fits in badly, or this: a person who is poorly adapted to new situations and environments. It’s a shameful word, a word no one typically tries to own. Until now. 

Lidia Yuknavitch is a proud misfit. That wasn’t always the case. It took Lidia a long time to not simply accept but appreciate her misfit status. Having flunked out of college twice (and maybe even a third time that she’s not going to tell you about), with two epic divorces under her belt, an episode of rehab for drug use, and two stints in jail, she felt like she would never fit in. She was a hopeless misfit. She’d failed as daughter, wife, mother, scholar – and yet the dream of being a writer was stuck like “a small sad stone” in her throat. 

The feeling of not fitting in is universal. The Misfit’s Manifesto is for misfits around the world – the rebels, the eccentrics, the oddballs, and anyone who has ever felt like she was messing up. It’s Lidia’s love letter to all those who can’t ever seem to find the “right” path. She won’t tell you how to stop being a misfit – quite the opposite. In her charming, poetic, funny, and frank style, Lidia will reveal why being a misfit is not something to overcome but something to embrace. Lidia also encourages her fellow misfits not to be afraid of pursuing goals and tells them how to stand up, how to ask for the things they want most. Misfits belong in the room, too, she reminds us, even if their path to that room is bumpy and winding. An important idea that transcends all cultures and countries, this book has created a brave and compassionate community for misfits, a place where everyone can belong. 

Full cast of narrators includes Jordan Foster, Domi Shoemaker, and Mary Thompson.

Publisher's Summary
A self-defined misfit makes a powerful case for not fitting in - for 
recognizing the beauty, and difficulty, in forging an original path. 
A misfit is a person who missed fitting in, a person who fits in badly, 
or this: a person who is poorly adapted to new situations and environments. 
It's a shameful word, a word no one typically tries to own. Until now. 
Lidia Yuknavitch is a proud misfit. That wasn't always the case. It 
took Lidia a long time to not simply accept but appreciate her misfit 
status. Having flunked out of college twice (and maybe even a third 
time that she's not going to tell you about), with two epic divorces 
under her belt, an episode of rehab for drug use, and two stints in 
jail, she felt like she would never fit in. She was a hopeless misfit. 
She'd failed as daughter, wife, mother, scholar - and yet the dream 
of being a writer was stuck like "a small sad stone" in her throat. 
The feeling of not fitting in is universal. The Misfit's Manifesto is 
for misfits around the world - the rebels, the eccentrics, the oddballs, 
and anyone who has ever felt like she was messing up. It's Lidia's love 
letter to all those who can't ever seem to find the "right" path. She 
won't tell you how to stop being a misfit - quite the opposite. In her 
charming, poetic, funny, and frank style, Lidia will reveal why being 
a misfit is not something to overcome but something to embrace. Lidia 
also encourages her fellow misfits not to be afraid of pursuing goals 
and tells them how to stand up, how to ask for the things they want 
most. Misfits belong in the room, too, she reminds us, even if their 
path to that room is bumpy and winding. An important idea that transcends 
all cultures and countries, this book has created a brave and compassionate 
community for misfits, a place where everyone can belong.
