“Splinters: Another Kind of Love Story” by Leslie Jamison is my April #MulaneyReads pick. I finished this a few days ago on a train to Wolverhampton, England and haven’t stopped thinking about it. I have not lived Jamison’s life but certain stories of parenthood (“Lit” by Mary Karr, “Blue Nights” by Joan Didion, Noah Baumbach’s ‘Margot at the Wedding’ and ‘The Babadook’) will resonate with many people.
You absolutely don’t have to be a parent to get into this incredible memoir. But enough disclaimers, just read it. It’s great.
