BookPageThe childhood of Patricia Lockwood, the poet dubbed' The Smutty-Metaphor Queen of Lawrence, Kansas' by The New York Times,  was unusual in many respects. There was the location: an impoverished,  nuclear waste-riddled area of the American Midwest. There was her  mother, a woman who speaks almost entirely in strange riddles and  warnings of impending danger.\r\n\r\n Above all, there was her gun-toting,  guitar-riffing, frequently semi-naked father, who underwent a religious  conversion on a submarine and found a loophole which saw him approved  for the Catholic priesthood by the future Pope Benedict XVI, despite  already having a wife and children.   When an unexpected crisis  forces Lockwood and her husband to move back into her parents' rectory,  she must learn to live again with the family's simmering madness, and to  reckon with the dark side of her religious upbringing. Pivoting from  the raunchy to the sublime, from the comic to the serious, Priestdaddy  is an unforgettable story of how we balance tradition against hard-won  identity - and of how, having journeyed in the underworld, we can emerge  with our levity and our sense of justice intact.\r\n\r\n   'Destined to be a classic . . .\r\n\r\n this year's must-read memoir'  Mary Karr, author of The Liars' Club'Irrepressible . . .\r\n\r\n joyous, funny and filthy . . .\r\n\r\n Lockwood blows the roof off every paragraph'  Joe Dunthorne, author of Submarine'Beautiful, funny and poignant.
