THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE: A MEMOIR
"Bachrach is one of the funniest writers I've ever read, period. Make room on the shelf next to Sedaris, Eggers, Wilsey." --Alexandra Fuller.

"The Center of the Universe" is a mordantly funny memoir guaranteed to make you feel better if you think your family is crazy. The story is so improbable it could only be true: A brilliant woman with a long history of mental illness -- who once proclaimed herself to be the "the center of the universe" -- is miraculously cured by accidental carbon monoxide poisoning aboard the family boat, the aptly named Mr. Fix It. Nancy Bachrach warns readers, "Don't try this at home" in her darkly humorous memoir about "the second coming" of her mother, the irresistible Lola.
