Sobre este artículo
Review: "A remarkable, laugh-out-loud book." - The New York Times.
From back cover: "When George Hodgman leaves Manhattan for his hometown of Paris, Missouri, he finds himself - an unlikely caretaker and near-lethal cook in a head-on collusion with his aging mother, Betty, a woman of wit and will." George can't bring himself to force her from the home both treasure. Betty speaks her mind, but can't quite reveal her heart, and has never really accepted the fact that her son is gay.
"Hodgman reveals the challenges of Betty's life and his own struggle for self-respect... The result is both an indelible portrait of a family and an exquisitely told tale of a prodigal son's return."
Good Condition. Spine is uncreased. Some edge and corner wear, light stains on top and page edges. Text is clean. Cover is not "slick". A good readable copy. Please see photos.
278 pages including Acknowledgments.
