For this episode, we chatted with Damien Linnane about his new memoir Raw: Raw chronicles a childhood marred by physical and sexual abuse, and a man’s subsequent search for identity in unhealthy places, such as violent gangs and the military. Childhood trauma reaches a climax when Damien tracks down and firebombs the home of a rapist. He subsequently becomes an artist and writer in prison.
