Title: So what are you left with after reading this book.
Product review: Another dysfunctional family accounting. Dani Shapiro is not that interesting of a person. All the lamenting and agonizing is boring. The last 20 pages are the only interesting and un-soap-opera part of the book.Memoirs are a ticklish and problematic art form. This book comes off more as journalism, both the reporting kind, and the narcissistic psychiatry kind.As a comparison, Kafka Was The Rage read as a good memoir and a work of art.In the spirit of art criticism though, keep on writing. Recognizing when one has done a boring work is part of evolvement.
