Corned Beef On Lies: The Laugh Track From My 83-Year Life Trek
by Gloria Krasnow Liebenson
Category: Biography & Autobiography

Catch the bees whirring around Gloria's bonnet. On your way through this thoroughly enjoyable read, discover a compilation of mostly very funny highlights of her life-beginning at age six and capping off with a "tryst" in her eighties. The daughter of "Russian Intelligentsia" parents who emigrated from Kiev and Odessa, she grew up in Chicago with her two screwball older brothers and, after World War II, migrated to Washington, D.C. with her young husband, Herbert Liebenson. Although Gloria's voice is quintessentially American, evoking memories of Erma Bombeck, one is reminded as well, of Fanny Brice and Molly Goldberg. This is really an urban version of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Contact Glor: glor15@juno.com
