The Art of the Wasted Day Tekijä: Patricia Hampl
Enjoyed the premise. Did not read all the book as it seemed to go off course.

Hempl writes memoir with the artistic flair of fiction. Her poignant account of her mother's passing includes detailed descriptions of St. Paul neighborhoods, her father's work as a florist, her own desire to reach beyond "the middle" of everything.
A historian friend loaned this title to me. After reading it I'm sure that the writer's clever weaving of time and place must be why she recommended it.

This is another book I read years ago, and now cannot recall what it was like.
