Explanation Supposing Books The End of Eve

At age 39, Ariel Gore has everything she’s always wanted: a successful writing career, a long-term partnership, a beautiful if tiny home, a daughter in college and a son in preschool. But life’s happy endings don’t always last. If it’s not one thing, after all, it’s your mother. Her name is Eve. Her epic temper tantrums have already gotten her banned from three cab companies in Portland. And she’s here to announce that she’s dying. “Pitifully, Ariel,” she sighs. “You’re all I have.” Ariel doesn’t want to take care of her crazy dying mother, but she knows she will. It’s the right thing to do, isn’t it? And, anyway, how long could it go on? “Don’t worry,” Eve says. “If I’m ever a burden, I’ll just blow my brains out.” Amidst the chaos of clowns and hospice workers, pie and too much whiskey, Ariel’s own ten-year relationship begins to unravel. Darkly humorous and intimately human, The End of Eve redefines the meaning of family and everything we’ve ever been taught to call “love.”

Judgment Of Books The End of Eve

Its getting to be that time of year when I start searching the web for the best books of 2014. I know that it is a bit early for that, but I just want to make sure that I am not missing any quality reading before the year is up or at least weigh in on all the hype when the time comes. In my search, I came across this book. I tend to go into reading books blind because I dont like to read about them before hand. I like the element of surprise, which is why I loathe movie previews. Anyway, I

I enjoyed this book a lot and related to the author on many levels. It has a quirky modern feel to it. It is great that gen x is middle age now because, even though I qualify as one, I am sick of boomer authority. The author seems like someone who it would be fun to have as a friend.I ended up caring about the characters and falling in love with wise little Maxito. The book is more about the caregivers than Eve but that was okay. It was liberating when the author let slip those momentary mental

This book touched me to the core. I, too, was raised by a beautiful, eccentric, unstable and unpredictable mother. I cared for her during the final years of her life. I wish I could have written about my experience the way Ariel Gore writes about hers.

Eve is one of those mothers who eats her young with relish. Ariel Gore is one of those children who refuses to be eaten. The memoir The End of Eve is a three-ring performance in how to handle a barely tamed lioness of a mother when she announces to her daughter that she is dying, and expects to be taken care of. Ariel doesnt hesitate. (Actually, she does a little bit, as well she should.) Ariel has a thousand good reasons (and the accompanying psychic scars) to abandon her abusive mother and get

I think I failed to understand this book almost completely.Ariel, the author and narrator, was so passive that I didn't even understand half of what was happening to her. She rarely wrote about how her situations made her feel, which made the events themselves inscrutable. I had a hard time figuring out what her reactions were based on what she wrote. For example, when her girlfriend of ten years leaves her for another woman she has been seeing, she writes: "The ruin of everything. But I felt

Life isn't fair--we've all had that phrase hurled at us since childhood, but man, sometimes it really isn't. Particularly when your mother is dying of cancer. Particularly when your mother is both a dear, hilarious, wonderful person and a total narcissist. Not all of us were dealt those cards, but every one of us will face circumstance as difficult, as heartbreaking, and as tough to respond to in the manner we would like to at some point in our lives. Gore's journey from Portland to Santa Fe hit

I was eager to get my hands on End of Eve (though at that time I think, it was titled Lung Cancer Noir) after hearing Ariel do a reading at Wild Mountain Memoir Retreat. Later, I knew I wasn't alone in my enthusiasm when during a writing workshop, half the class picked it as the best book they'd read recently. It's a tender and somehow feisty telling of negotiating the emotional morass surrounding the impending death of her drama queen mother. She brings the reader into her story with grace and
