Book review: 'Knowing Jesse' by Marianne Leone
![During the all-too-brief life of their physically disabled son, Jesse, who died in his sleep five years ago at the age of 17, the actors Marianne Leone (who played the mother of actor Michael Imperioli on HBO's "The Sopranos") and Chris Cooper (an Academy Award winner for his work in "Adaptation"), often sought relief in black humor.

Others may have seen them this way, but that was not how they saw themselves.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2010-09/56173010-15160751.jpg "During the all-too-brief life of their physically disabled son, Jesse, who died in his sleep five years ago at the age of 17, the actors Marianne Leone (who played the mother of actor Michael Imperioli on HBO's "The Sopranos\") and Chris Cooper (an Academy Award winner for his work in \"Adaptation\"), often sought relief in black humor.

What could easily be mistaken as a paean to 1960s Southern California is also a sly herald of that era's end.
