...Ms. Weber's account of her relationship with her manipulative fabulist of a father brings to mind classic autobiographies of unmoored childhoods, like Mary Karr's "Liars' Club" and those companion volumes from the brothers Wolff, "This Boy's Life" (Tobias) and "The Duke of Deception" (Geoffrey)...It's when Ms. Weber remembers Papa that her considerable skills as a writer are most seductively on display. And it's not just because the exasperating Kaufman is such a good subject. It's that Ms. Weber is able to arrange words musically, so that they capture the elusive, unfinished melodies that haunt our memories of childhood. As her grandmother's lover might have put it, she's got rhythm. – Ben Brantley, The New York Times
