Conversations with Mother [9780822246008]

Overview

Growing up isn’t easy – especially with a strong-willed, Italian-American mother keeping tabs on your every move. Free-spirited Bobby has a knack for getting into trouble, and his mother, Maria, never hesitates to offer her opinion, like it or lump it. As he comes of age and builds a life for himself in New York City as a struggling playwright – is there any other kind? – Maria is always there with a phone call or check-in, following her mother’s intuition. And when Bobby begins to seek independence as a gay man, Maria stretches her own beliefs to support him. Through learning curves, life’s complications and hard-won victories, their love for each other holds plenty of laughs and a few tears, but most importantly, never diminishes. An unsettling yet tender comedy that traces the relationship between an Italian-American mother and her son over the course of five decades.
