A smart, edgy writer, Gurwitch evokes deep emotions while delivering laughs. Her memoir captures the madcap joy of her quirky family, including moonshine-smuggling ancestors and a brothel matron great-grandmother, placing her among chroniclers of dysfunctional families like Augusten Burroughs. The writing is infused with sagacious wit and soulful insights reminiscent of Nora Ephron. Readers will find it impossible to put down, as it’s filled with hysterical moments that make it perfect for travel. Gurwitch's unforgettable stories about family and life's absurdities remind us of the necessity of laughter. One reviewer coined the term "Luffaw" to describe the blend of humor and poignancy in her tales of finding and working with one's family. She offers a sharp, humorous look at her family's pursuit of the American Dream, making her journey compelling and relatable. The book balances laughter with moments that tug at the heartstrings, showcasing the lovable chaos of family life. Gurwitch's fearless exploration of both trivial and epic life passages provides a humorous lens on the frustrations and thrills of navigating familial relationships. Her unique voice blends old-fashioned wit with modern sensibilities, making her work a delightful read.
