In this particular darkly funny, astonishing memoir, the original "Lit Young lady" and writer of the era-defining Slaves of New York considers her life in and outside of New York City, from the heyday of the 1980s to her life today in a tiny upstate town that shows that simple truth is always stranger than fiction. While using publication of her acclaimed brief report collection Slaves of New York, Tama Janowitz was crowned the Lit Young lady of New York. Celebrated in rarified literary and public circles, she was hailed, alongside Symbol Lindquist, Bret Easton Ellis, and Jay McInerney, among the original "Brat Load up" authors - a influx of young minimalist authors whose wry, urbane sensibility captured the zeitgeist of the time, propelling those to the forefront of American culture. In Scream, her first memoir, Janowitz recalls the quirky literary world of young downtown New York in the go-go 1980s and displays on her life today a long way away from the town indelible to her work. Just as Slaves of New York and A Certain Get older, Janowitz transforms a critical eyes toward life, this time around her own, recounting the vagaries of fame and fortune as a writer specialized in her art work. Here, too, is Tama as child, wife, and mom, wrestling with aging, reduction, and angst both adolescent (her child) and middle aged (her own) as she cares for a mom suffering from dementia, fights a sibling who questions her selections, and endures the criticism of a surly teenager. Filled with an extremely real, very personal ensemble of heroes, Scream can be an romantic, scorching memoir rife with the laughter, insight, and connection with a writer with a surgeon's eyes for depth and an art for cutting right to the strangest parts of life.
