Description

Her devoted family only wants the most productive for their Bubbie. Mostly they need to make sure that their matriarch’s twilight years are spent in comfort, safety, and serenity. But how do you manage an aging, immutably stubborn Holocaust survivor who has risen above the squalor of Poland’s ghettos; fled across the war-torn German wilderness; and survived the winter-ravaged Pyrenees alone on foot with three children? You almost certainly don’t.
Managing Bubbie is the heartrending, hilarious family memoir by Russel Lazega that recounts the continuously hectic, ever-exhausting trials of one Jewish family in Miami Beach as they are trying to oversee the care of the elderly, unmanageable Lea Lazega. As they scramble for an acceptable assisted living facility and struggle to get her medication in line, they discover the difficulties of controlling a woman who again and again eluded catastrophe by refusing to be informed what to do.
A tapestry of an American family in the 1980s, Managing Bubbie also revisits the Holocaust period to mine the love, hope, and humor that emerged from the deepest despair. Anyone who savors a soft heart with a sharp funny bone will laugh, cry, and commiserate with the confounded family who will have to manage their beloved, unattainable Bubbie.
