THE DRAW – A Memoir (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, April 2017) Hoping to make a killing in New Jersey real estate, the author’s father, Monroe Siegel, takes a draw from his employer against unearned commission. When the recession hits in the 1970s, Monroe finds himself owing a small fortune to his firm. He sinks toward divorce and bankruptcy, while Lola, Lee's mother, suffers a nervous breakdown that turns her into a different person. Shamed and enraged by his father’s fate, Lee tries to make a different life for himself. He goes to a private college in the Midwest, is forced to leave due to his father’s bankruptcy, and returns to New Jersey to work a series of menial jobs. He enrolls at a state college and then drops out to seek a better existence abroad, only to return to the United States in debt and in despair. Suddenly, a promising new life opens to him. At a price. Publishers Weekly describes THE DRAW in a starred review as “powerful, jarring […] Siegel’s strong focus on psychological depth rather than the visible remakes his familiar journey from American boy to man into something strange, disturbing, and wonderful.” English rights: Farrar, Straus & Giroux.
