Brennan-Jobs is a deeply gifted writer. . . . Beautiful, literary and devastating. The New York Times Book Review

A masterly Silicon Valley gothic. Vogue

Born on a farm and named in a field by her parentsartist Chrisann Brennan and Steve JobsLisa Brennan-Jobss childhood unfolded in a rapidly changing Silicon Valley. When she was young, Lisas father was a mythical figure who was largely absent from her life. His rare attention was thrilling, but he could also be cold, critical and unpredictable. Part portrait of a complex family, part love letter to California in the seventies and eighties, Small Fry is a shockingly honest and beautifully understated (Vogue UK) debut.

Review(s):
As clear-eyed, amusing, honest, unsentimental and sad as any memoir Ive read. . . .Ruefully compassionate and wise.No other book or film has captured Steve Jobs as distinctly as this one.The love between father and daughter, thwarted and baffled as it often is, comes through beautifully.
A memoir of uncommon grace, maturity, and spare elegance.
Here is a literary coming-of-age memoir of the highest order, the story of a child trying to find her place between two radically different parents, identities, and worlds…Small Fry is a wonder of a book, and Lisa Brennan-Jobs is a wonder of a writer.
A masterly Silicon Valley gothic.
Brennan-Jobs is a deeply gifted writer Beautiful, literary and devastating.
Mesmerizing, discomfiting reading A book of no small literary skill.
