A memoir of the Golden Age of Hollywood and publishing by one of the leading American Black Humorists.

An indefatigable, irresistible, and wildly inappropriate Jewish mother takes her 17-year-old son to school in this uproarious coming-of-age comedy Tall and scattered-looking, Joseph has just graduated from high school and is ready for college. But is college ready forhim? Apparently not, judging by the rejection letter he receives from Bates and the deafening silence that greets his application to Columbia. While his friends pack their bags for schools across the country, Joseph mopes around the apartment in his bathrobe and checks the mailbox obsessively. It's enough to make his mother fear for the boy's sanityso she resolves to take matters into her own hands. What follows is a sidesplitting series of misadventures as Meg, whom theNew York Times Book Reviewcalled ';the most unforgettable mother since Medea,' pulls out all the stops to get her boy what he wants. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Bruce Jay Friedman including rare photos from the author's personal collection.

This is the story of Joseph, a tall, scattered looking boy of 17, and his wonderfully indomitable mother, Meg, who is resolved, in the summer after her son's high-school graduation, to start arranging his life for him, even going so far as to accompany him to college.
