Description
Molly Brodak's memoir, Bandit, is a powerful and provocative account of her childhood with a father who was both larger-than-life and deeply flawed. At 13, she witnessed the FBI dubbing him the "Mario Brothers Bandit" as he robbed eleven banks before serving seven years in prison.
As Brodak recounts her experiences growing up with this complex man, she reveals a childhood marked by contradictions: birthday treats and a yard, but also late-night rages and a mysterious second wife. Her strategy was to "get small" and stay out of the way, but as she unearths her memories, she begins to reckon with the fracturing impact her father had on their family.
In Bandit, Brodak attempts to make peace with the parts of herself that she inherited from this bewildering and beguiling man. This is a deeply personal and thought-provoking memoir that explores the complexities of family relationships and the lasting impact of our childhood experiences.
