Now, a second thrilling tale of filial sleuthery, this time about her mother: voracious reader, music lover, passionate amateur actor. Also a woman, unhappily married to a closeted gay man, whose artistic aspirations simmered under the surface of Bechdel's childhood . . . and who stopped touching or kissing her daughter good night, forever, when she was seven. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoignantly, hilariously, Bechdel embarks on a quest for answers concerning the mother-daughter gulf. It's a richly layered search that leads readers from the fascinating life and work of the iconic twentieth-century psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott, to one explosively illuminating Dr. Seuss illustration, to Bechdel’s own (serially monogamous) adult love life. And, finally, back to Mother — to a truce, fragile and real-time, that will move and astonish all adult children of gifted mothers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alison Bechdel","offers":[{"title":"Trade Paperback","offer_id":51670436610354,"sku":"9780544002234","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/7934\/0850\/files\/9780544002234.jpg?v=1787959279","url":"https:\/\/53rdstreetbooks.com\/products\/are-you-my-mother-a-comic-drama","provider":"53rd Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
