Most astonishingly, it was while she was still a teenager that Mary composed her canonical novel Frankenstein, creating two of our most enduring archetypes today.

David Grossman’s book is a little different. It is not the classic tear-jerker tragedy or somber, heart tugging tale, no. Without spoiling the whole book, I can warn that it is actually pretty sad at times. I was not sure what this book would entail when coming into it and certainly did not expect what I got out of it. As he tells the story the crowd begins to dwindle, but his story crescendos right up to the end. He then transitions into telling the story of his mother’s death with the periodic interjections of a joke or two. ![]() Dov starts the performance in what seems like a pretty standard way, until he starts wailing on himself physically. This novel follows the main character, Dovelah Greenstein, as he gives his final performance of stand-up comedy narrated through the view of the character Avishai Lazar.

If you haven't read it yet, however, I just felt that the ending sort of strained credulity. DO NOT GO THERE unless you want the book ruined for you. Unfortunately there's no way to discuss my issues without revealing major spoilers, so I'm going to scroll way down for this part of the discussion. However, I had some issues with the ending.
