Summary:
American novelist and short story writer Tama Janowitz considers her life in and outside of New York City, from the heyday of the 1980s to her life today in a tiny upstate town. With the publication of her short story collection Slaves of New York, Tama Janowitz was celebrated as one of the young minimalist authors whose wry, urbane sensibility captures the zeitgeist of the time. Janowitz recalls the quirky literary world of young downtown New York in the go-go 1980s and reflects on her life today far away from the city. She turns a critical eye on her life, recounting the vagaries of fame and fortune as a writer devoted to her art. Here, too, is Tama as daughter, wife, and mother, wrestling with aging, loss, and angst, both adolescent (her daughter) and middle aged (her own) as she cares for a mother plagued by dementia, battles a brother who questions her choices, and endures the criticism of a surly teenager. A memoir rife with the humor, insight, and experience of a writer with a surgeon's eye for detail, and a skill for cutting straight to the strangest parts of life.
