  • Tuxedo Park

    Jennet Conant could not have published this book much sooner than 2002 because much of the content was classified until about 2002.

It is also a wonderful and beautifylly written story about the struggles of human beings, including sickness, despair, mental illness, sexual antics, and the mental retardation that seems to pop up to give some sort of grotesque balance to every family with geniuses. Thank you Jennet for a superb book. This book is worth a ...
