About Breakfast With Tiffany: An Uncle's Memoir

Breakfast with Tiffany is a harrowing and funny memoir about the author's first year as guardian of his "thirteen-going-on-thirty" talented and troubled niece. Ed was a single, gay, 40-year-old living a successful though routinized urban life when his much-adored niece is sent to live with him in Greenwich Village. Instant parent Uncle Eddy watches his best laid plans go awry as the pair struggles to figure out their new relationship and become a family. With an edgy wit and compassion reminiscent of Augusten Burroughs and David Sedaris, Ed recounts not only the coming of age of his beloved niece but his own as well. Together Uncle Eddy and Tiffany face situations that are sometimes heartbreaking, often hilarious, and never less than authentically human.About the Author:Edwin John Wintle has worked as an actor, lawyer, and film agent.
