I can dig, indeed. And it sounds quite absorbing. Nice find.
Erik-a memoir? Social psychology? I'm in!
Hi Erik,
Glad to see your blog is still going strong. The Glass Castle was moving, disturbing and inspiring. How did those children survive that upbringing? How much of their parents' horrible child rearing was due to mental illness, addiction, and breathtaking selfishness. I actually came away feeling grateful to my father, an artist, who turned to advertising to feed his kids. He was no charmer as a father but we ate regularly. Happy New Year. -Mark
Erik-Started reading this one! Absorbing indeed!
Erik, I loved it. I loved Rex and Rose Mary's eternal and skewed optimism!
