Seller's Description:
New. Joel Yanofsky tried for years to start this memoir. "It's not just going to be about autism, " he told his wife, Cynthia. "It's going to be about parenthood and marriage, about hope and despair, and storytelling, too." "Marriage? " Cynthia said. "What about marriage? " A veteran book reviewer, Yanofsky has spent a lifetime immersed in literature (not to mention old movies and old jokes), which he calls "shtick." This account of a year in the life of a family describes a father's struggle to enter his son's world, the world of autism, using the materials he knows best: self-help books, feel-good memoirs, literary classics from the Bible to Dr. Seuss, old movies, and, yes, "shtick." Funny, wrenching, and unfailingly candid, "Bad Animals" is both an exploration of a baffling condition and a quirky love story told by a gifted writer.
