Produktbeskrivning
To be seen and not heard was never going to happen for Barbara Worton, a.k.a. Chatterbox.
Talking, which she started doing in full sentences at fourteen months, is in her DNA. Her Italian American mother was a champion talker. Her German Dutch father had to be a listener.
Her mother’s parents and ten brothers and sisters all talked at once. Music, both recorded and live, played constantly. Life was noisy, and Barbara watched and cataloged what she saw and heard—then and all through her life.
As only a true chatterbox knows how, Barbara winds and weaves through stories from her Long Island childhood to life in the present.
Each of her forty-three mini-memoirs paints a portrait of what makes the everyday beautiful, giving readers a wonderfully detailed glimpse into memories like being in her grandmother’s kitchen (where making pasta sauce was almost a “military maneuver”).
With wit and poignancy, she wrestles with the world’s paradoxes and recalls moments that show just how much we all have in common.
Life spills onto the page in all its noisy, glorious, and messy detail.
In Barbara’s both intimate and chatty voice, her stories take us from Buster Browns and Tonette Permanents to supermarket lines, John Travolta, the Tappan Zee Bridge, and the sleepless nights of adulthood. You can see and hear the characters in these stories. Anyone who has a family will see something of themselves in this book.
Anyone who loves spaghetti and meatballs will need to go out for Italian food after reading Worton’s ode to both. Each story in Chatterbox: Stories from a Noisy Life is the perfect pause, a moment to refresh and presents a mirror for readers to reflect on their own pasts, presents, and futures.
"The essays create a vivid pastiche of mid-to-late 20th century Americana.
Worton effectively tells her stories in a breezy style, laced with both humor and poignancy. There''s a steady confidence in her prose as she meticulously observes and comments on her own actions, the world around her, and occasional esoteric thoughts that have made a home in her brain." - Kirkus Reviews
