| Plot Summary of I Want to Thank My Brain for Remembering Me |
|---|
"For Jimmy Breslin, the discovery of a life-threatening brain aneurysm was a call to reflect on his life. With funny anecdotes and serious retrospect, Breslin writes of his youth in Queens, his marriages, and his career as an author and columnist. A sudden need to explore his brain spurred Breslin's exploration of the meaning of his own life through his mind and memories."
