The Sex Doctors in the Basement True Stories from a SemiCelebrity Childhood
Author: Molly Jong-Fast
What do you do when Grandpa is a commie who lives in Connecticut with his secretary/wife, and Grandaunt Kitty has just decided at the age of eighty-five that she is no longer a lesbian?

Molly Jong-Fast grew up in a town house with a pink door and paintings of ladies playing naked Twister. There were world-famous therapists living in her cellar, a secretary with a brain tumor, a nanny who was a numbers runner, and grandparents who revealed that they had sex on their first date. Leading therapists agree: a normal childhood.

In The Sex Doctors in the Basement, Molly Jong-Fast takes us on a tour of her big fat Jewish bohemian upbringing. With the same keen insight, effortless cool, and buoyant wit that won her legions of devoted readers in Normal Girl, she offers a riotous and affecting coming-of-age story that is both uniquely weird and weirdly universal.
