Summary of The Year of Getting to Know Us
a darkly comic exploration of the classic dysfunctional-family dynamic” and a quirky exploration of how the people in our lives make us who we are.” Christopher Rocket escaped his sheltered life as the only child of a golf-obsessed father and eccentric mother in Florida to become a commitment-phobic successful freelance writer in New York. The story intercuts between Rocket’s less-than-normal ’70s childhood and present-day adulthood as Christopher returns home to reconnect with his estranged comatose father.
