It's good to be Bob Morris. The author, who recently published Assisted Loving, a memoir of helping his widower father - and himself - find love, has been traveling to Los Angeles to discuss possibly turning the book into a movie. As if that's not enough, Morris' main squeeze, Ira Silverberg, recently proposed. And Morris said yes! Do we smell an Assisted Loving sequel? [NYDN] |

Picking up soon after his mother's death, Assisted Loving chronicles former New York Times columnist Bob Morris' struggle to find his eager beaver father a date. Surely trolling personal ads for one's father can take a toll, but, after all the arguments and aborted missions and, yes, his own dating misadventures, Morris finally learned to love his father. And, really, that's what this book's about: learning to love a parent - and yourself - as you look toward at times bleak future. Morris recently sat down with our editor to discuss how this experience helped him come of age, the ethics of memoir writing and how his father led him toward his own relationship. |
