Frederick Manfred: A Daughter Remembers, by Freya Manfred (read Dec 9, 1999) This is a memoir by the daughter of Frederick Manfred, who when he wrote as Feike Feikema put out a novel called This is the Year, which I read with great appreciation in June of 1948. Much of this book is devoted to telling of Manfred's decline and death, and I am unfortunately old enuf not to particularly be entranced by such a detailed account of a long decline that faces most of us sometime. I read the book because I heard and saw the author--relatively rare for us in my area. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

In this poignant memoir, poet-novelist Freya Manfred recounts the artistic life and death of her father, the prolific and highly regarded author Frederick Manfred. Using family letters and passages from her father's novels as well as her own memoirs, she explores their powerful personal and literary relationship, which spanned nearly five decades. Freya manfred described what it meant to be the daughter of a strong-willed man who was dedicated, sometimes at great cost, to a creative life. Her story starts with the tender power and beauty of his funeral in 1994, then moves back to a clear-eyed and often humorous depiction of their home life, which was shaped by her father's insistence on the quiet and solitude necessary for his writing. She remembers the shift in their relationship as her literary career blossomed and he added the roles of mentor and friend. Finally, she shares frank and loving detail of her family's struggle to help her father die well. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
