Mother. Wife. Sister. Human. Warrior. Falcon. Yardstick. Turban. Cabbage. by Rob Delaney
4.0
Reading this memoir of stylized essays, mostly encompassing medical maladies of body or behavior, is oh so bittersweet.
Within a few years after this book published, he lost one of his sons to brain cancer at age three, and as a father, I was crushed as he waxed emphatic about being a dad and the dire need to outlive his children. I can’t imagine.
Yeah, there’s much butthole talk. But Rob’s long form is as real and poignant as his wry tweets. He’s a guy who lived a life and doesn’t try to dress it up, and it was a pleasure to read about it.
