I Will Be Complete
Angebote / Angebote:
From the bestselling author of Carter Beats the Devil and Sunnyside, a big-hearted memoir told in three parts: about growing up in the wake of the destructive choices of an extremely unconventional mother.Glen David Gold's earliest memories are of a childhood in which he had everything he could possibly want. But when his father's fortune disappeared and his parents divorced, Gold fell out of his well-curated Southern California life. He was now growing up by the side of his increasingly erratic mother, among con men and get-rich schemes in '70s San Francisco.Gold brings all his gifts as a novelist to a kaleidoscope of his most formative experiences: his salvation at boarding school, his dream job at an independent bookstore, a punk rock riot, a romance with a femme fatale, the start of his writing career, and his estrangement from his mother, who moved in with her soul mate, a man who threatened to kill her. By turns heartbreaking and disarmingly funny, I Will Be Complete is one son's journey, a series of love stories layered into a search for autonomy, and, ultimately, a way of letting go.
