"A Borzoi book"--T.p. verso.
备用描述
Nancy Bachrach is living in Paris, selling deodorant to the French, when a freak accident kills her father aboard his cabin cruiser, the aptly dubbed Mr. Fix It , in her incongruously named hometown of Providence. Her mother, Lola, the self-proclaimed center of the universe, whose medical history reads like the chapter headings of a psychiatric manual, lies in a coma on deaths waiting list. Nancy rushes home and sits by her mothers ventilatorthinking about Sunny von Blow and eyeing the plug. Thus begins a family reunion with her brother, Ben (a piano prodigy and eventual surgeon who was born with three thumbs), and sister, Helen (the wild child, now an abnormal psychologist).
This is a dark, hilarious tale of genius, madness, ineptitude, collateral damage, and hopewith an ending thats improbable, as only the truth can be. Aching and tender, unflinching and wry, The Center of the Universe is a multi generational mother-daughter storya splendid, funny, lyrical book about family, truth, memory, and the resilience of love.
备用描述
The story is so improbable, it can only be true: A brilliant woman with a long history of mental illness—who once proclaimed herself to be'the center of the universe'— is miraculously cured by accidental carbon monoxide poisoning aboard the family boat. Nancy Bachrach warns readers, “Don't try this at home” in her darkly humorous memoir about “the second coming” of her mother — the indomitable Lola, whose buried family secrets had been driving her crazy. Aching and tender, unflinching and wry, The Center of the Universe is a multigenerational mother-daughter story—a splendid, funny, lyrical memoir about family, truth, and the resilience of love.
