Reviews of Confessions of a Former Child“For a guy who once wrote jokes for Rodney Dangerfield, Dan Tomasulo sure can make you cry. For a guy who insists he’s not a “real” writer, he certainly knows how to navigate the rapids of the human condition.” “Confessions is the kind of book you’ll finish in an hour—it’s a short, sweet page-turner. But you’ll also find yourself examining your childhood memories, wishing you had a shrink like Tomasulo to guide you through your neuroses.” “Disquietingly funny, stuffed with entertaining details and penetrating insights.” “[A] charming and witty writer who seems like the therapist we would all choose to go to for our own problems. For a child to be concentrating so fully on “the light,” a recurring symbol in adult life as well, shows that Tomasulo, even as a child, had exceptional insight.” “Witty prose…Tomasulo observes his own life to reveal how the individual psyche develops (or fails to) in the sometimes warfarelike context of family dynamics.” “Confessions... is funny, fresh and incisive. And it’s a real page-turner: Tomasulo...a nationally recognized pioneer in the field of psychodrama... very nearly chose comedy writing as a career, before he discovered the healing power, and promise, of therapy.” “With tremendous clarity and wisdom, Daniel Tomasulo has crafted a memoir at once heartbreaking and uplifting. Layers of time and memory—childhood, adolescence, early adulthood, middle age—are so beautifully revealed here, a trenchant reminder that our pasts are alive inside of us. There are psychologists who can write, and writers who can psychologize, but rarely have the two met on the page with such moving, profound results.” |
