Her father, a prominent history professor, is losing his memory and is only erratically lucid. Ruth's mother, meanwhile, is lucidly erratic. But as Ruth's father's condition intensifies, the comedy in her situation takes hold, gently transforming her all her grief.<br /> Told in captivating glimpses and drawn from a deep well of insight, humor, and unexpected tenderness, <i>Goodbye, Vitamin</i> pilots through the loss, love, and absurdity of finding one's footing in this life.</p>.
