Detalhes da ObraHappy Baby de Stephen Elliott
   Nenhum(a) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Peculiar. It seems like it should be sad, but it isnt so much.I actually want to give this one and a half stars. No, I dont anymore. (  ) reg_lt | Feb 7, 2020 |  Plot: 36-year-old Theo returns to Chicago after many years to reconnect with his ex-girlfriend Maria - the starting point to a trip backward in time through Theo's more than difficult upbringing. In short scenes we move from the unhappy submissive adult Theo has become to the happy baby he used to be. Happy Baby is a difficult book because it tells such a difficult story. And while I appreciated much about it, it didn't quiet reach me in a way it could have.

Mr. Elliott tells his story with dignity and courage. I'll never forget the scene where he follows his childhood tormenter on the bus. I still get chills remembering how that encounter ends.

Happy Baby is the story of Theo, once an orphan in the Chicago foster care system and now a grown man living in California. Theo, saturated with memories of abuse and heartache, and filled with the simple wish to understand more about himself, returns to Chicago to reconnect with an old girlfriend from his troubled youth. Told in reverse order, this edgy and powerful novel slowly and subtly turns mysterious, as we attempt to recognize the root of Theo's plight and the source for his quietly wavering humanity.
