I greatly enjoy Mary Gordon's early autobiographical fiction and her memoirs. I come from a similar background and am only a few years younger than she is, so it's probably nostalgia more than anything. Nobody else can evoke the cloistered world of pre-Vatican II American Catholicism like her. Most other "I grew up Catholic" stories are jokey, ironic, or otherwise pass judgment in hindsight. I don't like her later fiction. To me it just doesn't have the same emotional immediacy. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Mary Gordon, bestselling author of Spending and The Shadow Man, investigates the role that place plays in the formation of identity -- the connections between how we experience place and how we become ourselves. From her grandmother's house, which stood at the center of her childhood life, to a rented house on Cape Cod, where she began to mature as a writer, Mary Gordon navigates the reader through these spaces and worlds with subtlety and style. Wise, humorous, and intelligent, Seeing Through Places illuminates the relationship between the physical, emotional, and intellectual architectures of our lives, showing us the far-reaching power that places ultimately have in influencing a life.
