About ADHD in D Minor
ADHD IN D MINOR is a high-speed, television-flavored mixtape of sketches, manifestos, character monologues, rage letters, and love notes that orbit the unhinged core of a mind too fast for traditional structure. As it turns out, Zoé Mahfouz did not come to literature to heal. She came to dominate. Raised by a Montessori mom, groomed by reruns of Frasier, Will & Grace and Family Guy, and diagnosed with a God Complex, the self-declared long-lost third Coen Brother (or Sister) believes in scenes, not chapters, and punchlines, not conclusions. This is not autofiction. This is Zoé Mahfouz’s multiverse. A dramatic reenactment written with the rhythm of a cold open and the philosophy of a sugar-high Woody Allen character. Every chapter is a freeze frame. Every voice sounds like it might burst into a song from Cats or yell “Cut!” mid-sentence.
This is not a book you read so much as attend. Take your seat. Silence your phone. The curtain rises on the inner life of someone who can’t stop noticing, narrating, overthinking, oversharing, or auditioning for roles she made up herself.
And yes, it’s in D Minor, the funniest of all the melancholy keys.
