Overview
David Sipress, aĀ dreamer and obsessive drawer living with his Upper West Side family in the age of JFK and Sputnik, goes hazy when it comes toĀ theĀ ceaselessly imparted lessons-on-life from his meticulous father and the angsty expectations of his migraine-prone mother.Ā Ā With wry and brilliantly observed prose, Sipress paints his haplessĀ place in the family, from the time he is tricked byĀ his unreliable older sister into rocketing his pet turtle out his twelfth-floor bedroomĀ window, to the moment he walks away from a Harvard PhD program in Russian history to begin his life as a professional cartoonist. Sipress' cartoonsĀ appear in the story with spot-on precision, inducing delightfulĀ Aha!Ā moments in answerĀ to the perennial question aimed at cartoonists: Where do you get yourĀ ideas?Ā
