reviewed The Crowd Sounds Happy: A Story of Love, Madness, and Baseball on July 13, 2008 The Crowd Sounds Happy: A Story of Love, Madness, and Baseball
I thoroughly enjoy well-written and perceptive memoirs especially when they have painful and hopeful revelations in equal measure. This book is a highly satisfying memoir that contains many wonderfully descriptive passages that capture the angst of growing up and feeling like an outsider. The author's life is colored by his father's mental illness, his mother's austere strength and determination and his love of baseball. The fact that he grew up in New Haven and graduated from Hopkins added to my interest. His mother is a former colleague and someone that I consider a significant mentor. Dawidoff's memoir multiplies my respect for her and reminds me to reflect back often on the parenting and teaching advice she gave me.
