My Good Bright Wolf (häftad, eng)

<p><b><i>My Good Bright Wolf</i> is a memoir about thinking and reading, eating and not eating, about privilege and scarcity, about the relationships that form us and the long tentacles of childhood.</b><br><br>Sarah Moss, author of <i>The Fell</i> and <i>Summerwater</i>, confronts all of this in a book that pushes at the boundaries of memoir-writing.

It narrates contested memories of girlhood at the hands of embattled, distracted parents in a time of disastrous attitudes towards eating and female discipline. By the time she was a teenager, Sarah had developed a dangerous and controlling relationship with food, and that illness returned in her adult life.<br><br>Now the mother and teacher of young adults, in <i>My Good Bright Wolf</i> she explores a childhood caught in the trap of her parents&rsquo; post-war puritanism and second-wave feminism, interrogating what she thought and still thinks, what she read and still reads, and what she did &ndash; and still does &ndash; with her hard-working body and her furiously turning mind.<br><br><b>Beautiful, audacious, moving and so very funny, Sarah Moss&rsquo;s memoir is a remarkable exercise in the way a brain turns on itself, and then offers a way out: it is a blindingly brilliant experiment in and celebration of what a creative mind can do.</b></p>
