Dust

By Summer Brenner

In this Boomer memoir, Driving Miss Daisy meets One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. With lilting eloquence, Summer Brenner captures the tumultuous fifties and sixties of a genteel Jewish family in Atlanta, with the South's oppressive segregation and anti-Semitism. The family drama is fraught: the brother is a schizophrenic, the mother a Gucci-clad Medusa, and the father a suicide. After extensive travels, Brenner frees herself in the Bay Area to become "more beatnik than debutante." Framed by historic events, this is the moving coming-of-age story of a generation.
