Buying and Selling

The biped's mentor, Kaylie Jones, just got a review in the New York Times for her memoir that is just out, Lies My Mother Never Told Me.

Here's a quote:

But it’s a bright, fast-paced memoir with an inviting spirit. There is real immediacy to the family portraits here, even when, as with the brother, who is mentioned only glancingly, those portraits seem deliberately incomplete. There is deep frustration: when Kaylie discovers that her mother has secretly resumed drinking after pretending to quit, she finds herself too weak to “do some anger work” (i.e. hit pillows with a foam bat) at her therapist’s office. There’s also great daughterly love for James Jones, as his daughter sometimes insists on referring to him, and palpable pride in his achievements.
