Khong is a magician... BrilliantLauren Groff, author of Fates and Furies
';Khong's first novel sneaks up on you just like life, illness and heartbreak. And love. A million small, human and often deeply funny details gather force to tell a tale that is ultimately, incredibly poignant' Miranda July, author of The First Bad Man
Ruth is thirty and her life is falling apart: she and her fiance are moving house, buthes moving out to live with another woman; her career is going nowhere; and then she learns that her father, a history professor beloved by his students, has Alzheimer's. At Christmas, her mother begs her to stay on and help. For a year. Goodbye, Vitaminis the wry, beautifully observed story of a woman at a crossroads, as Ruth and her friends attempt to shore up her father's career;she and her mother obsess over the ambiguous health benefits in the absence of a cure of dried jellyfish supplements and vitamin pills;and they all try to forge a new relationship with the brilliant, childlike, irascible man her father has become.
