But its what she leaves unsaidshes alone, a drinker, a former artist, a shrieker in bed, captain of the sinking ship that is her fleshthat feels the most true.
Everyone around her seems to have an entirely different idea of what it means to be an adult: her best friend, Indigo, is getting married; her brotherwho miraculously seems unscathed by their shared tumultuous childhoodand sisterinlaw are having a hopedfor baby; and her friend Matthew continues to wholly devote himself to making dark paintings at the cost of being flat broke.But when Andreas niece finally arrives, born with a heartbreaking ailment, the Bern family is forced to reexamine what really matters.
Will this drive them together or tear them apart?
Told in gutwrenchingly honest, mordantly comic vignettes, All Grown Up is a breathtaking display of Jami Attenbergs power as a storyteller, a whipsmart examination of one womans life, lived entirely on her own terms.
