Idgie Says:
A story of the rendering and then healing relationship between two brothers. Perhaps a good life guiding book on how to overcome and heal strife within a close family.

about We Were Brothers
Brothers Barry and Tommy Moser were born of the same
parents in Chattanooga, Tennessee, slept in the same bedroom, went to
the same school, and were both poisoned by their family’s deep racism
and anti-Semitism. But as they grew older, their perspectives and their
paths grew further and further apart. Barry left Chattanooga for New
England and a life in the arts; Tommy stayed put and became a mortgage
banker. From attitudes about race, to food, politics, and money, the
brothers began to think so differently that they could no longer find
common ground. For nearly forty years, there was more strife between
them than affection.
After one particularly fractious conversation when Barry was in his late fifties and Tommy was in his early sixties, their fragile relationship fell apart. With the raw emotions that so often surface when we talk of our siblings, Barry recalls how they were finally able to traverse that great divide and reconcile their troubled brotherhood before it was too late. We Were Brothers, written and illustrated by preeminent artist Barry Moser, is a powerful story of reunion told with candor and regret that captures the essence of sibling relationships, with all their complexities, contradictions, and mixed blessings. | |
