Overview
"Written using the working title "Dumpster Fire of Memories," this work examines the origins and consequences of self-defeating cyclical behavior through an epidemiological lens. "Dumpster Fires & Other Calamities" is split into several sections, each of which is concerned with a different determinant of health – childhood development, social environment, income and social status, and personal health practices and coping skills. These determinants are explored through an series of in-depth reflective essays interspliced with pieces of narrative nonfiction. " -- Abstract
