Description
In Jack Sh*t 3: I'm the Father-the third installment of a 4-part trilogy-we are reminded that the world is Jack Friedman's oyster . . . or more accurately, Jack Friedman's scrambled egg on a soft roll.
It's always been "The Jack Friedman Show."
Those in and around his life-the owners of "Owl Head" Bagels, the doctors at the VA, the waitresses he hoped would never know the "horror of stretch marks," the woman he was "running with," his daughter (who he called "that woman from Long Island"), and his sons, including yours truly-were his studio audience.
He knew his part; we knew ours.
His dementia created moments of confusion and sadness ("Where's your mother, Ba, where's your mother?") but when the synapses were firing, his takes on longevity, IRS audits, bosom areas, and the possibilities of dairy products were the stuff of scholars and philosophers.
"What do they want from my life, Ba?"
"I don't know what to tell you, Dad."
"Don't get so shook up. My question's academic."
Advance Praise
"No one I know of has honored a father as gallantly as has Barry Friedman, animating ‘the oddities and wonders of Jack Friedman’ for readers whose misfortune was never to have met him. Jack’s enormous success was to have raised a son who loved him so faithfully, so drolly, and—our reward—so memorably.”
Mark Singer, author of Funny Money and staff writer for The New Yorker
