Born on a farm and named in a field by her parents- artist Chrisann Brennan and Apple cofounder Steve Jobs- Lisa Brennan-Jobs’s childhood unfolded in a rapidly changing Silicon Valley. When she was young, Lisa’s father was rarely present in her life.
As a teenager, she moved back and forth between the imperfect but extraordinary worlds of her parents before finally setting out on her own. Part portrait of a complex family, part love letter to California in the seventies and eighties, Small Fry is an entrancing debut by a brilliant new literary voice.
