Although her story is unique to her, it offers a way of thinking about our changing, uncertain times. Inheritance adds significantly to Shapiro’s body of work while plugging into some of our culture’s most pressing concerns–identity, technology, and medical ethics, among others.
So it’s reasonable to ask a simple question: What could be left to say? That number includes at least three memoirs. Sure, there are narrative twists that lead to unexpected epiphanies-but fewer and fewer books whose plot and pacing compel me to page ahead of my place in the text, panting for answers.ĭani Shapiro’s Inheritance: A Memoir of Genealogy, Paternity, and Love does that by telling a remarkable story with the empathy and eloquence that characterize Shapiro’s previous nine books.
There aren’t many genuine literary thrillers out there, especially among today’s memoirs.
