Fragments: Growing up Bohemian Poor In Dementia’s House, a collection of illustrated short stories about growing up bohemian poor with an artist father and crazy, zany mother, paints the author’s life as a child, teenager, and adult dealing with a mentally ill mother who slid into dementia in her later years. Memories, triggered by houses the author lived in from 1950 to 1964 and later, physical houses, metaphorical houses or spaces, or a house of dementia, transport you through turmoil and joy. A quick read, it’s got humor, tragedy, nudity, and sex.
