From the Inside Flap:
"This brave and thoughtful memoir is an artistic triumph that brings rich characters to life, while quickening the feelings that lie at the heart of every family’s struggle."—Newsday
About the Author:
"A fascinating, rich, beautiful book...A profound portrayal of the ever-changing, deepening relationship between mother, daughter, and eventually granddaughter." — Tillie Olson
"We have this book because Kim Chernin longed to know her mother, ‘save’ an important life, and communicate her to the next generation (as well as the rest of us)....There are stories in this book that I will never forget." — Grace Paley
"Read In My Mother’s House to know what it was like on the Left or as a teenage girl in the fifties, but read it more for its dazzling literary structure, its passionate intelligence, and its ferocious clarity." — Louise Bernikow
Kim Chernin is a guest instructor at the San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute, where she teaches a course in psychoanalytic models with Elizabeth Lloyd Mayer. She is the author of two books about eros and memory, Crossing the Border and Sex and other Sacred Games (with Renee Stendhal); a trilogy of books on hunger, The Obsession, The Hungry Self, and Reinventing Eve; a novel, The Flame Bearers; a memoir, In My Mother's House; a collection of poetry, The Hunger Song; a book about psychoanalysis, A Different Kind of Listening; and a spiritual memoir, In My Father's Garden. She has studed music on her own since the age of seven, when she first began to play the piano.
