An audacious, boundary-shattering work.” —\u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGlen David Gold’s earliest memories are of a childhood in which he had everything he could possibly want. But when his father’s fortune disappeared and his parents divorced, Gold fell out of his well-curated Southern California life. He was now growing up by the side of his increasingly erratic mother, among con men and get-rich schemes in ‘70s San Francisco.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGold brings all his gifts as a novelist to a kaleidoscope of his most formative experiences: his salvation at boarding school; his dream job at an independent bookstore; a punk rock riot; a romance with a femme fatale; the start of his writing career; and his estrangement from his mother, who moved in with her soul mate, a man who threatened to kill her. By turns heartbreaking and disarmingly funny, \u003ci\u003eI Will Be Complete\u003c\/i\u003e is one son’s journey, a series of love stories layered into a search for autonomy, and, ultimately, a way of letting go.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49331605864752,"sku":"BDcf5p","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/276166-cf5p-Square.jpg?v=1733823497","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-cf5p","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
