Review
“Silber has written a rare showbiz memoir that holds more value for the writing than the celebrity name-dropping or rags-to-black tie trajectory. A witty and wise book.†- Washington Post“If successful marks of a fond familial memoir include admiration and an intense sentiment of communal loss, Al Silber's White Hot Grief Parade knocks it out of the park. Silber's memoir is lovingly told and teems with magic.†- Shelf Awareness (starred)“Though the subject matter of the memoir is heavy, Silber's tone is full of optimism and irreverence, effectively keeping readers engaged as they travel through their darkest thoughts. A sardonic memoir full of unexpected anxieties―and familial love.†- Kirkus Reviews“An inherently fascinating and deeply personal memoir written with an impressive candor and a genuine flair for narrative storytelling.†- Midwest Book Review“A remarkable tale of resilience, recounted by Silber with a spry inventiveness and deep sense of gratitude. This powerful and poignant memoir achingly reveals the many burdens facing those who lose a loved one, from the ways memories crop up unexpectedly to the small victories of learning to live again, offering hope for renewal.†- Booklist“Gifted storyteller, brilliant thinker, accomplished actor: Alexandra Silber is a consummate artist with a luminous voice on stage and page. A veteran of Broadway and the West End, Silber has performed in productions ranging from Fiddler on the Roof, Master Class, and The Woman in White to My Fair Lady, Murder on the Orient Express, and Carousel. In other words, she boasts an impressive resume that has enabled her to get to know a host of dynamic, singular characters. But Silber hasn’t been contented with just acting out other people’s stories―she has chosen to write her own stories, too. From Broadway to bookstores, Silber is at home wherever she gets to tell a good story.†- Pop Culturalist“White Hot Grief Parade is one of those extraordinarily rare, super special books that I immediately put into a safe, sacred space because I know I will return to it again and again: when I need a story of resilience, when I need to laugh, when I need to lose myself in a brilliant story, when I need to feel creatively inspired by a delightfully inventive writer, when I need emotional catharsis. Silber's prose is so vivid you feel like you're watching a movie, and so personal you feel like she's sitting the bar next to you late at night, indulging every one of your 'So then what happened?' prompts. It is a gift to spend time in her authentic, gentle, witty company while devouring this gorgeously raw book, and I highly recommend it to anyone who craves bold truth telling from one of the clearest and most captivating voices I've ever read.†- Mari Andrew, author of the New York Times bestseller 'Am I There Yet?'“White Hot Grief Parade is as beautiful and honest look at the experience of losing a parent at one of the most influential years in a young person’s life. It’s both heart-warming and heart-wrenching―and often funny―as well as all of the other things that come with the chaotic moments that surround the death of someone you love. Having lost my mother at a similar age, I wish I had Ms. Silber’s inspiring story and words to let me know that I was not alone.†- Andrew Briedis, author of #SOBLESSED and #GRATEFUL

Wow. Just...wow. After loving Silber's debut novel last year, I bought the digital copy of WHGP to read on release day. And I did - the whole thing, in one day, including during the hours I was at work. (To my employer: sorry/not sorry. Honestly I didn't have a choice in the matter.) This book is excellent, necessary, and literally un-put-downable from cover to cover. It is also the single most engaging account I've ever read of personal loss and its aftermath, not to mention a searingly honest portrait of family dysfunction. This book is a must-read for anyone who has had or will have to live through the unthinkable (spoiler: that's everyone, eventually).The narrative is both fresh and timeless. The author's treatment of her younger self is hilarious and incisive, with accounts of teenage hijinks that can't not make you smile. (Example: of her time serving as a dormitory Hall Assistant with her best friend Lilly: "We had to make sure everyone was present in a fire drill. We had to attend the fire drill. We had to have not pulled the fire alarm ourselves." HAH!) We follow her through the excruciating death of her beloved father, into a shell-shocked post 9/11 adulthood full of wry humar and artistic struggle. If you've ever been a smart, creative young woman, or loved one, you'll connect with this narrator early and often. Silber's portrayals of young love and true-blue friendship are both incredibly specific and utterly universal.These friendships, and the guidance of such understated heroes as Rabbi Syme, provide moral sustenance as our narrator undergoes the excruciating challenge of grieving her father. This begins with a eulogy, which she must deliver in the face of impressively toxic family dynamics. As Silber writes, "Dad came from a family where nothing bonded you together like dark, horrible secrets." But with sharp wit, vivid imagery and bottomless love, Silber is determined to tell the truth about her father, a man who loved integrity, baseball and Bill Murray. The result is as heartbreaking as it is inspiring.At the core of this book is a story of love so deep that it goes on after death, of love that must be borne because it will never go away. Deeply developed and artfully wrought themes of resilience make this a highly satisfying read. This is that rare memoir written with the style and structure of a page-turner novel. Come for Silber's impeccably timed gallows humor, stay for the insights that might just get you through the worst periods of your life. This book would make for a great movie. Meantime, can't wait to see what Silber writes next.
Wow, Alexandra Silber has written a book, that is hard to put down. The early part of the book has the innocence of Salinger and John Irving, the openness of the adolescent who looks to share her view of the world and the love and admiration for her Dad, Michael. She writes of him as the "greatest" and they seem matched in her most profound interests. He is an older Dad and doesn't seem to miss a beat in being there for everything in her life. Then comes the 2nd half, as illness and his tragic passing before his time. The story becomes a "How To" of coping, with the loss of the rock of her life, and she does it with time and the help of her musical and stalwart friends and an exceptional Mom. She takes her father forward in all endeavors and speaks to him(so do I not her Dad but my own Sam). Alexandra is talented in myriad ways musically, acting, and her other novel called , "After Anatefka" sp. She is an exceptional talent, and I look forward to her next efforts. GET IT TODAY
It might be hard to believe, but Al undersells just how massively talented, impossibly brilliant, infectiously charming, remarkably kind, and epically gorgeous her family is - and was - especially to a teenager, which is what I was when I first met them.Conversations with Michael and Cathy weren't just engaging, they were profound. When they spoke of dreams and potential, hard work and how to achieve, they weren't speaking in the round, they had a game plan; and it was usually masterful. The air sparkled around Cathy and Michael; they were... the definition of dreams coming true. Al wasn't just "as talented as anyone" - it was a truth universally acknowledged that she was the brightest star by far even when she wasn't trying.They loved each other, theater, baseball, and books, Bill Murray, and Angela Lansbury. They managed to make salad as dinner sound exotic. Under constant, severe stress and horrible disease, they still embraced life with an enthusiasm I had never seen before. I was in awe of them. I still am.Every day I am faced with a dilemma, I ask "what do we know?," and when people are bickering about what to do I say "fix it first, then we'll figure out what happened," and when you know where you need to go but not quite how to get there I say, "baby steps, Bob" and remember to just *keep going*. The little habits and catch phrases I picked up from their kitchen table longer ago than I care to admit have stuck with me and shaped who I became.White Hot Grief Parade holds a tighter grasp on my heart (and my tear-ducts) than most. Because I was in college when Michael died - the day after my birthday, the weekend before midterms - and I couldn't bear knowing he was gone, I made a valid but awful excuse and didn't go to his funeral. My mom went in my place. I heard about it later. I have regretted it ever since.Thank you, Al, for having the courage to share your world with the rest of the world, and to invite them to love Michael, and Cathy, and you. Michael lives on in the hearts and stories and habits of those he met while he was alive, and now, everyone who will meet him in the pages of this gorgeous book.And for anyone wondering who should play Michael in the movie version that White Hot Grief Parade so desperately deserves, no one shy of George Clooney will do.
