The Mother Knot

Autor Jane Lazarre
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 aug 1997
Chronicling the early years of the author's eldest son's life, this book presents a portrait of early motherhood as a time of profound crisis, both physical and emotional. It deals about the shock and pain of giving birth, the total exhaustion of caring for a demanding newborn, the struggle to reclaim a sense of self, and her chaotic feelings.

Recenzii

"A modern feminist classic, certain to leave its readers changed from the experience of reading seldom spoken truths." - Maureen T. Reddy, from the Introduction to the new edition of The Mother Knot "A powerful autobiographical account... Lazarre slugs it out with her own demons and the Great American Good Mother Myth. It will frighten people who don't like to have their myths messed with, but a lot of others will breathe easier because of it." - Louise Berkinow, New York Times Book Review "A wholly original and important book... I cannot imagine a woman who would not be moved, or a man who would not be enlightened." - Adrienne Rich "An important ... awareness-raising book." - Sonia Jaffe Robbins, Village Voice "Beautifully written ... The Mother Knot says the unsayable, crackling with insights... At once profoundly consoling and terrifying, her finds are universal." - Barbara Seaman, Washington Post Book World "Many women will see themselves in Jane Lazarre's beautifully written autobiographical account of her experience of motherhood, which is full of contradictory feelings and the conflict she felt between the portrayal of ideal motherhood and reality." - Guardian "Reading The Mother Knot more than twenty years after its first publication, I am struck by how contemporary this terrific books seems... It is a modern feminist classic, certain to leave its readers changed from the experience of reading seldom spoken truths." - Maureen T. Reddy, from the introduction to the new edition of The Mother Knot "Starkly intimate and profoundly moving." - Darcie Conner Johnston, Belles Lettres "The Mother Knot deserves a permanent place in the stirring body of testimonial literature American feminism has given rise to." - Vivian Gornick
