SUMMARY:SOLD OUT: The Feminist Book club with Kate Feld - April
DESCRIPTION:This event is sold out. \nHouse of Books & Friends are delighted to announce that we are hosting the Feminist Book Club with facilitator Kate Feld. Taking place monthly\, this will be a space for people of all genders to discuss feminist books. In April\, we will be discussing Fierce Attachments by Vivian Gornick. \nTickets\nBook and ticket: £9.99\nTicket only: £3 \nAs always\, there are a limited amount of complimentary tickets available for those who need them. Please contact us directly at bookworms@houseofbooksandfriends.pro or call 07597 365380. \nAbout the book \n‘Why can’t you find a nice man to be happy with?’ my mother is saying. We are walking down Ninth Avenue after a noon-hour concert at Lincoln Centre. ‘Why do you pick one schlemiel after another? Do you do this to make me miserable?’ \nVivian Gornick’s relationship with her mother is difficult. At the age of forty-five\, she regularly meets her mother for strolls along the streets of Manhattan. Occasionally they’ll hit a pleasant stride – fondly recalling a shared nostalgia or chuckling over a mutual disgust – but most often their walks are tinged with contempt\, irritation\, and rages so white hot her mother will stop strangers on the street and say\, ‘This is my daughter. She hates me’. \nWeaving between their tempestuous present-day jaunts and the author’s memories of the past\, Gornick traces her lifelong struggle for independence from her mother – from growing up in a blue-collar tenement house in the Bronx in the 1940s\, to newlywed grad student\, to established journalist – only to discover the many ways in which she is (and always has been) her mother’s daughter. \nFierce Attachments is a searingly honest and intimate memoir about coming of age in a big city\, and the perpetual bonds that keep us forever linked to our family.
