Gilman explores the complexities of our hopes and expectations for our children and ourselves.With luminous prose and a searing, personal story evocative of The Year of Magical Thinking and The Year of Reading Proust, Gilman’s The Anti-Romantic Child is an unforgettable exploration of what happens when we learn to embrace the unexpected.   Can’t make it to the signing?
