Book description
In this masterful collection of new essays, the apple looks at the tree. Twenty-five writers deftly explore a trait theyβve inherited from a parent, reflecting on how it affects the lives they lead todayβhow it shifts their relationship to that parent (sometimes posthumously) and to their sense of self.Apple, Treeβs all-star lineup of writers brings eloquence, integrity, and humor to topics such as arrogance, obsession, psychics, grudges, table manners, luck, and laundry. Contributors include Laura van den Berg, S. Bear Bergman, John Freeman, Jane Hamilton, Mat Johnson, Daniel Mendelsohn, Kyoko Mori, Ann Patchett, and Sallie Tisdale, among others. Together, their pieces form a prismatic meditation on how we make fresh sense of ourselves and our parents when we see the pieces of them that live on in us.
