Ridiculous: The Mindful Nonsense of Ricky's Brain

“All the beauties defining the way of a woman inspire us to understand it’s not the questions of love that drive us to continue the evolution of finding truth, but love is the answer to all questions of meaning.”
-- Excerpt

Ricky Tsang was only seven years old when he was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto. Affecting mainly boys and rarely girls, Duchenne’s is a debilitating neuromuscular disease that progressively weakens and deteriorates voluntary muscle strength and mass. Survival past the early thirties is uncommon, according to statistics.

When Tsang lost the ability to draw with his hands, it was then that he pursued the literary arts. From the sketchpad to the written word, Ricky’s peculiar combination of poetry and satire has captivated audiences in the world of blogging by an uproar.

In Ricky Tsang’s first ever “autobrainography”, this outspoken yet soft-hearted writer gives a no holds barred account of the fantastic adventures of an extraordinary mind, trapped inside an unusual body. Unlike most memoirs from the physically disabled community, his focus on the conflicted realities of life as he undertakes the struggles in the search for love. These, along with the craziest, most off-the-wall moments…

Ridiculous: The Mindful Nonsense of Ricky’s Brain is a raw and unadulterated anthology of the human mind, packaged in a chaotic mix of romance and comedy at its finest. Told with brutal honesty and heartfelt emotion, Ricky’s uncompromising style of redefining the infinite facets of life promises to keep readers on the edge of their seats.

Turning the pages through this incredible journey of everything, you’ll find both fictional (short) and real-life stories, along with a collection of love letters, and not to mention tragedy, self-help, philosophies, and much, much more. Feelings are bound to be stirred.

Written with sleek but uncensored prose and illustrated with eighteen photographs, Ridiculous: The Mindful Nonsense of Ricky’s Brain is a must-have for anyone who believes that freedom can only be attained from within, and a sense of humour is everything.
