by Carole Turbin (Author)
CAROLE TURBIN'S SOUVENIR COMBINES vivid writing, photographs, and art to tell the arresting story of growing up in Queens, New York, in the1940s and '50s with a distant mother and a mercurial father who sold souvenirs of New York to retail shops in Times Square and Chinatown. Finagler, practical jokester, gambler, and later magician--he could swing from angry rejector to loving parent. In the 1960s and '70s, the author escaped to Europe and California, becoming an artist, feminist, and historian. Much later, when he was an old man and she was middle-aged, she realized that he'd encouraged her art by advising, "If you're afraid, draw it," and that she shared his strong emotions and determination. She drew images of plumbing that conveyed her visceral childhood fears and made peace with him, drawing his portrait on his deathbed.
