This gutsy collection offers a brilliant reflection on life as a young lesbian and breast cancer survivor. Through discussions of madness, religion, gender and feminism, Gruber captivates with heartbreaking candor and wit. From her teenage Dian Fossey to her Virginia Woolf of Drama Club, Gruber invites us into a world of brash, bookish hilarity, as she navigates an unusual life, interrupted. In
You're Not Edith, Gruber asks herself how best to live and finds answers big enough for all of us.
