About This Item
New York: Ballantine Books, 2000. Good. The telephone plays an integral part in screenwriter and nonfiction author Ephron's (How to Eat Like a Child) humorous, if somewhat uncomfortable, loo k at the senility and death of a parent. Narrator Eve Mozell loves to chat on the phone, playing out nearly all of her relationships by talking into a plastic mouthpiece. Now 44 but still in the role of the unremarkable, over compensating middle daughter, Eve finds the care of her elderly, alcoholic father foisted upon her by her sisters Georgia, an overbearing magazine edi tor, and Madeline, a dippy soap opera actress. With little support from eit her her work-absorbed husband, a public radio commentator, or her teenaged son, Eve struggles to understand the Mozell family neuroses. Flashbacks hig hlight her parents' scotch-soaked divorce, her mother's subsequent abandonm ent of the family and her father's descent into alcoholism and general obno xiousness. Appropriately, a telephone relationship with a stranger helps Ev e come to terms with the simultaneous love and disgust she feels for her fa ther.
