Hard Laughter: A Novel Paperback – April 15, 1979 NEW
Annie Lamott
Writer (and sometime housecleaner) Jennifer is twenty-three when her beloved father, Wallace, is diagnosed with a brain tumor. This catastrophic discovery sets off Anne Lamott's unexpectedly sweet and funny first novel, which is made dramatic not so much by Wallace's illness as by the emotional wake it sweeps under Jen and her brothers, self-contained Ben and feckless, lovable Randy. With characteristic affection and accuracy, Lamott sketches this offbeat family and their nearest and dearest as they draw ever closer in the intimacy Jen prizes "among the other estimable things: good music, good hard laughter, good sex, good industry, and good books."

Questions & Comments

Hi sweetie, would you describe this book as more of a serious book or with a lot of funny partstoo? I know that I read the description but sometimes when you read the book it differs. I have a hard time with sad books.

Arlene, I really did not read the book as when I bought it, I realized it was a novel. Anne Lamott has a way with words that keeps you reading and you never want it to end. I enjoyed her other books totally because they were about her and her family. "Stitches" and "Small Victories" are the too I read. I recommends those for sure. Hard Laughter may be right for some, but I could not get into it as in her others. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much! That helps a lot! Not sure if it would be up my alley either. I will watch for more books if you post any! You are the best!
