Descriere magazin:
Rich and moving . . . Pure Flame may be Orange\'s legacy. It is already her gift. --Maggie Doherty, The New York Times (Editors\' Choice) During one of the texting sessions that became our habit over the period I now think of as both late and early in our relationship, my mother revealed the existence of someone named Janis Jerome. So begins Michelle Orange\'s extraordinary inquiry into the meaning of maternal legacy--in her own family and across a century of seismic change. Jerome, she learns, is one of her mother\'s many alter egos: the name used in a case study, eventually sold to the Harvard Business Review , about her mother\'s midlife choice to leave her husband and children to pursue career opportunities in a bigger city. A flashpoint in the lives of both mother and daughter, the decision forms the heart of a broader exploration of the impact of feminism on what Adrienne Rich called "the great unwritten story" that of the mother-daughter bond. The death of Orange\'s maternal grandmother at nearly ninety-six and the fear that her mother\'s more "successful" life will not be as long bring new urgency to her questions about the woman whose absence and anger helped shape her life. Through a blend of memoir, social history, and cultural criticism, Pure Flame pursues a chain of personal, intellectual, and collective inheritance, tracing the forces that helped transform the world and what a woman might expect from it. Told with warmth and rigor, Orange\'s account of her mother\'s life and their relationship is pressurized in critical and unexpected ways, resulting in an essential, revelatory meditation on becoming, selfhood, freedom, mortality, storytelling, and what it means to be a mother\'s daughter now. Michelle Orange is the author of the essay collection This Is Running for Your Life , named a best book of 2013 by The New Yorker . Her writing has appeared in publications including The New Yorker , Harper\'s Magazine , The New York Times , Bookforum , McSweeney\'s , and the Virginia Quarterly Review , where she is a contributing editor. She teaches in the graduate writing programs at Goucher College and Columbia University. data-fwclientid=b2d4aa1b-93f6-442a-92ab-0ec2cadaa3a7 data-preservehtmlbullets=1 data-allowlists=0 data-crlfsubmit=1 autocomplete=off autocorrect=off autocapitalize=off spellcheck=false class=field_input_main field_input_copytext field_input_copytext_body copytextheight-normal field_input_disabled fieldkeycheck-setup copytext-setup contenteditable=false style=box-sizing: border-box; padding: 3px; margin: 0px; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-left-radius: 5px; border-bottom-right-radius: 5px; border-collapse: separate; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); font-family: verdana, tahmoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; line-height: normal; outline: none; width: 289px; overflow-y: auto; display: inline-block; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); height: 100px;> Michelle Orange is the author of the essay collection This Is Running for Your Life , named a best book of 2013 by The New Yorker .
