- Summary:
- A teenage girl fights Dian Fossey-style for her girlfriend's affection ... a father steals his daughter's Walkman an discovers the meaning of life ... a young woman buys a sick dachshund in the midst of her chemo treatment.... These are some of the stories that comprise Allison Gruber's brazenly funny, poignant memoir. This gutsy collection offers a brilliant reflection on life as a young lesbian and breast cancer survivor. Through discussions of madness, religion, gender, and feminism, Allison Gruber invites us into a world of brash, probing hilarity. In You're Not Edith, Gruber asks herself how best to live and finds answers big enough for all of us. Book jacket.
