Literature and Fiction
In this extraordinary coming-of-age odyssey, Wally Lamb
invites us to hitch a wild ride on a journey of love, pain,
and renewal with the most heartbreakingly comical heroine to
come along in years.
"Mine is a story of
craving: an unreliable account of lusts and troubles that
began, somehow, in 1956 on the day our free television was
delivered. . ."
Meet Dolores Price. She’s
thirteen, wise-mouthed but wounded, having bid her childhood
good-bye. Beached like a whale in front of her bedroom TV,
she spends the next few years nourishing herself with the
Mallomars, potato chips, and Pepsi her anxious mother
supplies. When she finally rolls into young womanhood at 257
pounds, Dolores is no stronger and life is no kinder. But
this time she’s determined to rise to the occasion and give
herself one more chance before really going belly-up.
At once a fragile girl and a hard-edged cynic, so tough
to love yet so inimitably lovable, Dolores is as poignantly
real as our own imperfections. She’s Come Undone
includes a promise: you will never forget Dolores Price.
