Captures our time with bracing propulsive energy and brilliant honesty ... Albert is virtuosic. "Washington Post"
Ari is adrift, isolated with a one-year-old son in upstate New York. Then Mina moves to town: indie rock bassist in the 1980s, now a poet, pregnant, and alone. Ari sees the possibility of connection, and soon the two become comrades-in-arms, navigating hostile terrain. Acclaimed for its insight, outrageous humor, and power to spark fierce debate, "After Birth"is a daring portrait of motherhood, marriage, and transformative friendship.
