Because while Small Fry is a tell-all, it is more than anything a universal story of a daughter caught between the lives of her mother and father. Instead she came of age as a kind of nomad, moving from home to home while navigating the complicated dynamics of her atypical family.Ĭome for the revealing and unparalleled portrait of an infamous man (his hippie history, his distaste of watches, his stubborn refusal to lift his daughter from poverty), but stay for the beautiful sentences and the insightful meditations on love, family, and mental health. A lengthy lawsuit for child-support payments proved otherwise, but Lisa never fully earned a permanent place in her father’s orbit. Lisa was just two years old when her father attempted to deny parentage. But if what you really want is an inside look at the man himself, look no further than Small Fry, an intimate and absorbing memoir from his eldest daughter, Lisa Brennan-Jobs. If you’re looking for a detailed account of those things, there’s a book out there for you. There are lots of books about Steve Jobs-about his career, his company, and the technology he invented that, NBD, has changed our world forever.
