Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Sorrentino welcomes us to the inner workings of his quirky, funny, dark and sometimes suicidal soul through the prism of his family's business, "Clint's Corner," a luncheonette. As a young, hopeful actor pursuing his career in the Big City, Sorrentino puts his own dreams on hold when on Christmas Eve the twenty-three year old narrator watches helplessly as his father, Clint, is paralyzed with a rare neurological illness. Trying to play the part of the "Good Son," Sorrentino chronicles his adventures and hubris in trying save his father and his father's business when ultimately Clint, unknowingly, saves his son from destroying himself.
Told with a jaunty, sardonic and intelligent wit and filled with colorful unforgettable (but infinitely recognizable) characters, Sorrentino's debut memoir is a must read for all of us: sons, fathers and children who have struggled to find their own identity in the face of tragedy ... like growing up.
