This catastrophic discovery sets off Anne Lamott's unexpectedly sweet and funny first novel, which is made dramatic not so much by Wallace's illness as by the emotional wake it sweeps under Jen and her brothers, self-contained Ben and feckless, lovable Randy. With characteristic affection and accuracy, Lamott sketches this offbeat family and their nearest and dearest as they draw ever closer in the intimacy Jen prizes \"among the other estimable things: good music, good hard laughter, good sex, good industry, and good books.\"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnne Lamott\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several novels and works of nonfiction, including \u003ci\u003eOperating Instructions\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBird by Bird\u003c\/i\u003e.
