Product Information
A NEW YORK TIMES AND NEW YORKER TOP 10 BOOK OF THE YEAR "Beautiful, literary, and devastating."--New York Times Book Review * "Revelatory."--Entertainment Weekly * "A masterly Silicon Valley gothic."--Vogue *"Mesmerizing, discomfiting reading... A book of no small literary skill."--New Yorker * "Extraordinary... An aching, exquisitely told story."--People * "The sleeper critical hit of the season."--Vulture A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR FOR NPR, AMAZON, GQ, VOGUE (UK), BUSTLE, PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, AND INDIGO Born on a farm and named in a field by her parentsartist Chrisann Brennan and Steve JobsLisa Brennan-Jobs's childhood unfolded in a rapidly changing Silicon Valley. When she was young, Lisa's father was a mythical figure who was rarely present in her life. As she grew older, her father took an interest in her, ushering her into a new world of mansions, vacations, and private schools. His attention was thrilling, but he could also be cold, critical and unpredictable. When her relationship with her mother grew strained in high school, Lisa decided to move in with her father, hoping he'd become the parent she'd always wanted him to be. Part portrait of a complex family, part love letter to California in the seventies and eighties, Small Fry is a poignant coming-of-age story from one of our most exciting new literary voices. Praise for Small Fry "An intimate, richly drawn portrait... The reader of this exquisite memoir is left with a loving, forgiving remembrance and the lasting impression of a resilient, kindhearted and wise woman who is at peace with her past."--San Francisco Chronicle "A heartbreaking memoir, beautifully rendered...It's a love story for the father that she had, flaws and all... A wise, thoughtful, and ultimately loving portrayal of her father."--Seattle Times

Praise for Small Fry "Here is a literary coming-of-age memoir of the highest order, the story of a child trying to find her place between two radically different parents, identities, and worlds. Compassionate, wise, and filled with finely-wrought detail, Small Fry is a wonder of a book, and Lisa Brennan-Jobs is a wonder of a writer."--Jamie Quatro, author of Fire Sermon "As clear-eyed, amusing, honest, unsentimental and sad as any memoir I've read in years...No other book or film has captured Steve Jobs as distinctly as this one has."--Phillip Lopate, Praise for Small Fry "Brennan-Jobs's narrative is tinged with awe, yearning, and disappointment... Bringing the reader into the heart of the child who admired Jobs's genius, craved his love, and feared his unpredictability, Brennan-Jobs writes lucidly of happy times, as well as of her loneliness...This sincere and disquieting portrait reveals a complex father-daughter relationship." -- Publisher's Weekly (starred review) "An epic, sharp coming-of-age story from the daughter of Steve Jobs. It's rare to find a memoir from a celebrity's child in which the writing is equal to--or exceeds--the parent's reputation, but that is the case with Brennan-Jobs' debut. In a lesser writer's hands, the narrative could have devolved into literary revenge. Instead, Brennan-Jobs offers a stunningly beautiful study of parenting that just so happens to include the co-founder of Apple... An exquisitely rendered story of family, love, and identity."-- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Here is a literary coming-of-age memoir of the highest order, the story of a child trying to find her place between two radically different parents, identities, and worlds. Compassionate, wise, and filled with finely-wrought detail, Small Fry is a wonder of a book, and Lisa Brennan-Jobs is a wonder of a writer." --Jamie Quatro "As clear-eyed, amusing, honest, unsentimental and sad as any memoir I've read in years...No other book or film has captured Steve Jobs as distinctly as this one has."-- Phillip Lopate "A gorgeous, compelling work of art and a dazzling coming-of-age story. This is a lovely, sweetly intimate portrait, a story told through the eyes of a daughter whose father struggled with his own origins--and who almost became the father she hoped he would be." -- Susan Cheever, Praise for Small Fry "An epic, sharp coming-of-age story from the daughter of Steve Jobs. It's rare to find a memoir from a celebrity's child in which the writing is equal to--or exceeds--the parent's reputation, but that is the case with Brennan-Jobs' debut.

Bringing the reader into the heart of the child who admired Jobs's genius, craved his love, and feared his unpredictability." -- Publisher's Weekly (starred review) "Brennan-Jobs skillfully relays her past without judgement... staying true to her younger self. It is a testament to her fine writing and journalistic approach that her memoir never turns maudlin or gossipy. Rather than a celebrity biography, this is Brennan-Jobs's authentic story of growing up in two very different environments, neither of which felt quite like home." -- Booklist (starred review) "Here is a literary coming-of-age memoir of the highest order, the story of a child trying to find her place between two radically different parents, identities, and worlds. Compassionate, wise, and filled with finely-wrought detail, Small Fry is a wonder of a book, and Lisa Brennan-Jobs is a wonder of a writer." --Jamie Quatro "As clear-eyed, amusing, honest, unsentimental and sad as any memoir I've read in years. The prose sparkles, the vision behind it is ruefully compassionate and wise. No other book or film has captured Steve Jobs as distinctly as this one has. The love between father and daughter, thwarted and baffled as it often is, comes through beautifully."-- Phillip Lopate "A gorgeous, compelling work of art and a dazzling coming-of-age story. This is a lovely, sweetly intimate portrait, a story told through the eyes of a daughter whose father struggled with his own origins--and who almost became the father she hoped he would be." -- Susan Cheever, Praise for Small Fry "Here is a literary coming-of-age memoir of the highest order, the story of a child trying to find her place between two radically different parents, identities, and worlds.

Brennan-Jobs is a deeply gifted writer... Her inner landscape is depicted in such exquisitely granular detail that it feels as if no one else could have possibly written it. Indeed, it has that defining aspect of a literary work: the stamp of a singular sensibility... Beautiful, literary, and devastating." -- New York Times Book Review "An intimate, richly drawn portrait... Small Fry is a memoir of uncommon grace, maturity, and spare elegance... The reader of this exquisite memoir is left with a loving, forgiving remembrance and the lasting impression of a resilient, kindhearted and wise woman who is at peace with her past." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Extraordinary... An aching, exquisitely told story of a young woman''s quest for belonging and love." -- People "Mesmerizing, discomfiting reading...[ Small Fry is] a book of no small literary skill." -- New Yorker "[ Small Fry ] is a story of a girl growing up in 1980s and ''90s California trying to fit into two very different families and not belonging in either. It''s the story of her single mother trying to keep it together and often not succeeding. It''s the story of a family that is as imperfect as every family, things complicated by wealth, fame and, in the end, illness and death." -- Associated Press "Revelatory... Her exquisitely written prose allows Brennan-Jobs to - painfully, complexly, heroically - reclaim her own story." -- Entertainment Weekly , "Best Books to Read in September" "A masterly Silicon Valley gothic... The bohemian landscape she captures will be virtually unrecognizable to anyone who equates this slice of Northern California with Teslas and tiger moms... Of the book''s myriad achievements, the greatest might be making [this] story her own." -- Vogue "An epic, sharp coming-of-age story from the daughter of Steve Jobs. It''s rare to find a memoir from a celebrity''s child in which the writing is equal to--or exceeds--the parent''s reputation, but that is the case with Brennan-Jobs'' debut.

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
