Lizzie Dahlberg, separated from a worthless husband, works as a lady barber to keep herself and her son in shabby respectability amid the vice and brutality of Kansas City in the early 1900s. Her constant objective: to acquire a new husband who can give her security and help educate the child. She is attractive to men, but fate never brings her a good one. One suitor makes her put the boy in an orphanageyears of torment that are brilliantly describedand then betrays her. Another does marry herand disappears with her savings. Lizzie is in despair, but soon begins to laugh at life again and arches her bosom for the next prospect. As he grows through a sensitive, painful adolescence, Edward is both fascinated and appalled by his mother. He adores her but is ashamed of her. He tries to escape, bumming his way to Los Angeles and later going to college in Berkeley, but is always drawn back. Even her death, with which the book ends, cannot release him. Seldom has there been so ruthless, and yes so tender a dissection of the mother-son relationship. And from it Lizzie Dahlberg emerges as one of the unforgettable characters of modern literature....9780811222884_New Directionslibro_electonico_a3850e36-33aa-3c5d-91a1-c7113773cccb_9780811222884;9780811222884_9780811222884Edward DahlbergInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/wwnorton-epub-cccf1239-473e-4950-8a85-dc441139ae4c.epub1967-01-17T00:00:00+00:00New Directions
