Szabo's prose is stark and effortless. She paints in quiet images that nevertheless seem to vibrate with emotional intensity...-- Kirkus ReviewsMarta Szabo writes with surgical precision, vivid detail, and deep empathy.... This is memoir at its finest.-- Frances Lefkowitz, author of To Have NotIn a fast-moving mosaic of scenes, The First Two reveals -- in all their impossible complexity -- two crucial connections: with father, with first boyfriend. As if standing in her shoes, the reader steps into life moments moving from childhood through youth and on into the far reaches of adulthood. Without attempting to explain or analyse, we watch these relationships soar, collapse, interweave and, ultimately, refuse to disappear. If you want the grit of real life, this is for you.
