While Jeannette Walls was living on Park Avenue, covering the Academy Awards and attending black-tie parties at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, her parents were squatting in an abandoned building on the Lower East Side. Rex Walls, her father, was an ingenious adventurer and a hopeless alcoholic. Her mother was an artist who abhorred domestic routine and the chores of motherhood : 'Why should I cook a meal that will be gone in an hour when I can do a painting that will last forever ? ' Funny, sad, quirky and loving, The Glass Castle is an almost incredible story of a nomadic, impoverished childhood.
