About the Book:
“A uniquely touching meditation on the parental experience.”
—Ross Benes, author of Rural Rebellion

“In keeping track of daily life and history’s sharp turns through the indignities a baby inflicts on the parent or parents, David Moscovich finds a bright new way to tell a story. Never has the baby’s incapacity to recognize the needs of another been so humorously or so lovingly explored as in this book. Language itself emerges in Premieres as that impossible bridge that nonetheless bridges, that imperfect realization that nonetheless counts.”
—Leonard Schwartz, author of Flacofolio and Actualities

“From first smiles to first words, David Moscovich’s Premieres is a tender, funny and deeply observant memoir chronicling the first three years of his daughter’s life.”
—Mike Topp, author of Shorts Are Wrong
