Somewhere in the shadow zone between the Beat Generation and the Postmodern Era, lies this witty, poignant, compassionate, blunt, and daring novel about a single mother, her family and her relationships. The central character, Babe, is the hub from which a multitude of spokes radiate, such as 606, the responsible father of her children, her problem daughter, Joanne, and the bizarre collection of therapists called The Crisis Association.
With all these perspectives, Goodbye My Coney Island Baby is an intensely intimate look at one womans world from every angle at once, like a cubist painting of the mind. From the emotive illuminating short scenes of Part One to a realm of prose in the tradition of Kerouac, Faulkner and Gertrude Stein of Part Two, Goodbye My Coney Island Baby is disturbing and uplifting literature with both grit and punch.
