Patric Gagne book signing for Sociopath: A Memoir.

  • Diesel, A Bookstore 225 26th St Santa Monica, CA 90402 (map)

Join Diesel, A Bookstore on Tuesday April 9th at 6:30 pm as we welcome Patric Gagne to the store to discuss and sign Sociopath: A Memoir. 

Patric Gagne realized she made others uncomfortable before she started kindergarten. Something about her caused people to react in a way she didn’t understand. She suspected it was because she didn’t feel things the way other kids did. Emotions like fear, guilt, and empathy eluded her. For the most part, she felt nothing. And she didn’t like the way that “nothing” felt. She did her best to pretend she was like everyone else, but the constant pressure to conform to a society she knew rejected anyone like her was unbearable. So Patric stole. She lied. She was occasionally violent. She became an expert lock-picker and home-invader. All with the goal of replacing the nothingness with...something.

This event is free to attend and will be held in the Lower Courtyard near DIESEL, A Bookstore at the Mart.
