Summary

From the best-selling author of The Fish That Ate the Whale, Sweet and Low, and Tough Jews comes Make Your Own Mistakes, a candid, short memoir that chronicles Rich Cohen’s transition to young adulthood in New York City and beyond. Both amusing and thoughtful, this is the story of Rich’s quest to lead a life outside the confines of his father’s dream for him. His father’s tough love and unsought guidance collides with the resistance of Rich’s youth, bringing forth crucial lessons that where you choose to live can define your existence, that you should be happy with unhappiness, and that in life you must always move forward.

A pleasant short story

It’s nice occasionally to listen to a shorter audiobook and this was such a book.
