And now that he has written a slightly embarrassing and shockingly successful self-help book, the seventy-year-old playwright is everywhere. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHenry's sudden rise to prominence--along with his need to grapple more deeply with his own religious life-- leads him to join a mission to Haiti. There, he meets a young man eager to come to America. But his motivation to help becomes complicated by his disturbing attraction to the boy. It also comes to threaten his relationships with his daughter and his wife, Lily, a successful actress. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMiranda and Henry play out their separate dramas until the lives of the father and daughter become hopelessly intertwined. Miranda's drive to understand the mysterious artist she's profiling becomes a journey into the past, into the lost New York of the 1970s, a time whose social and political fervency will always be wrapped up with her own childhood. That journey, existing alongside Henry's need to test the boundaries of their relationship, leads her to a new awareness of how much artists will always withhold from their children, and from the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnthony Giardina's \u003ci\u003eRemember This\u003c\/i\u003e moves through the cutthroat contemporary art world, the New York theater scene, and post-earthquake Haiti to ask questions about artistic legacies, and about the root of family relationships.
