Small Fry (book)

Small Fry is a 2018 memoir by Lisa Brennan-Jobs, daughter of Steve Jobs.[1]

Reviews

The New York Times gave it a positive review and called it an "entrancing memoir." It also called Jobs "deeply gifted writer" with a "singular sensibility." It goes so far as to say that "in the fallen world of kiss-and-tell celebrity memoirs, this may be the most beautiful, literary and devastating one ever written."[2]

Plot

The review says that "Brennan-Jobs herself never addresses the question of his legacy; her book is written from the perspective of a child longing for a father." It covers her childhood in Palo Alto with her mother, and her father's estrangement. It details emotional abuse, with Jobs even failing to name her as one of his children in later years.[2]
