Love and Other Impossible Pursuits follows a New York lawyer dealing with grief, a difficult stepson and the complicated family created by an affair. Bad Mother collects personal essays about parenting expectations and the pressure to perform ideal motherhood, while A Really Good Day recounts a month of taking very small doses of LSD as she investigates mood, medication and drug policy. Love and Treasure moves through several generations around objects connected with the Hungarian Gold Train after the Second World War. Waldman's prose is candid, argumentative and often darkly funny. Her work fits family fiction, memoir, parenting essays and contemporary social commentary. Read more Less
