Tasha: A Son's Memoir

Brian Morton

4.9/5 (23172 ratings)

Description:A deeply moving and surprisingly funny memoir from an award-winning author about his relationship with his eccentric mother in her twilight years—perfect for readers of Bettyville and The End of Your Life Book Club.“Your father is to be confronted. Your mother is to be escaped.” Tasha Morton was a force of nature and Jewish mother extraordinaire—as vivid and outrageous a character as you might find in Philip Roth’s fiction—with wicked, deadpan humor. She was a brilliant, innovative educator who made a difference in the lives of generations of children, but she was also intrusive, chaotic, willful, and headstrong. When Tasha's health began to fail, Brian Morton knew he had to step up, but he was not prepared for the minefield that awaited him—his mother's stubborn refusal to accept her own fragility; the anger she often unleashed on him; his own excruciating ambivalence towards her; and of course the shocking lack of societal systems in place to help families navigate this challenging stage of life. Clear-eyed and precise, Tasha addresses ideas about masculinity, family, and responsibility, and asks how we can honor our parents without forsaking ourselves—and vice versa. Both a brilliant character study and a multi-dimensional, intensely human account of a path everyone must walk at some point, Morton’s memoir offers solidarity, warmth, and reassurance, and also, perhaps most importantly, laughter.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
