A son receives an inheritance from his father and tries to dispose of it before it destroys him. Inherited Disorderstells this elemental story in over 100 hilarious, witty variations.Adam Ehrlich Sachss Inherited Disorders is a rueful, absurd, and endlessly entertaining look at a most serious subjectthe eternally vexed relations between fathers and sons. In a hundred and seventeen shrewd, surreal vignettes, Sachs lays bare the petty rivalries, thwarted affection, and mutual bafflement that have characterized the filial bond since the days of Davidic kings. A philosophers son kills his father and explains his aphorisms to death. A father bequeaths to his son his jacket, deodorant, and political beliefs. Englands most famous medium becomes possessed by the spirit of his skeptical fatherwho questions, in front of the nation, his sons choice of career. A Czech pianist amputates his fingers one by one to thwart his father, who will not stop composing concertos for him. A nineteenthcentury Italian nobleman wills his illconceived flying contraptionincapable of actual flightto his newborn son. In West Hollywood, an aspiring screenwriter must contend with the judgmental visage of his father, a respected public intellectual whose frozen head, clearly disappointed in him, he keeps in his freezer. Keenly inventive, but painfully familiar, these surprisingly tender stories signal the arrival of a brilliant new comic voiceand fresh hope for fathers and sons the world over.
