Motherless Brooklyn is a beautifully written novel about a complicated man named Lionel Essrog who is an orphan and a sufferer of Tourette’s. As we all know about Tourette’s, the syndrome causes you to spurt out words (sometimes profanity) during periods of stress in order to ease an internal undying mental angst.
