Twin: A Memoir by Allen Shawn

3.0

A memoir that looks at his life as the twin of a girl with autism. The book starts from his birth and slowly moves through his life chronologically. It moves around in topic from his phobias to his family to his sister to music and back again, but it has a cohesive wholeness about it. Poignant, reflective, honest without pretension or expectations. It wasn't quite what I expected, but it was interesting and well-written.
