All our lives are made of moments, both simple and sublime, all of which in some way partake of the cultural moment. Fleda Brown is that rare writer who, in narrating the incidents and observations of her life, turns her story, by wit and insight and a poets gift, into something more. This is an unconventional memoir. A series of lyrical essays about life in a maddeningly complex family during the even more maddeningly complex fifties and sixties, it adds up to one womans story while simultaneously reflecting the story of her times.A strange and erratic father, a resigned and helpless mother, a mentally disabled brother, a sister with a brain tumor: folded into Browns reflections are the intimacies and ambivalences of family and marriage, girlhood and adolescence, identity and selfknowledge. Whether reflecting on the automobile industry or a wrenching parting from beloved pets or the process of aging, Browns telling rings with great humor, profound perception, and a lyricism that makes even the most commonplace moment uncommonly good reading.
