Confessions to the Empty Chair
A memoir · 2026
Some truths refuse to stay buried. A raw Catholic memoir of faith, desire, and spiritual warfare, Confessions to the Empty Chair follows a boy marked by an unseen war into manhood — through obsession, seduction, sacrament, and the stubborn nearness of God. Anthony Adoré writes from inside the fight, refusing both easy piety and despair, asking what remains of a soul after love, sin, and grace have each taken their turn. Its companion volume is Fractions of the Soul.
Fractions of the Soul
A philosophical memoir · 2021
The self is never as whole as it appears. A philosophical memoir of identity, desire, and inner fracture, Fractions of the Soul maps the divided heart — the many selves we wear, the illusions we defend, and the ache to be made whole. Sharp, unsentimental, and honest, it names the forces that split a person and asks what is left when the mask finally falls. Read it as the scaffold to the confession, beside Confessions to the Empty Chair.
