4.22 (54 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): Beth Kephart

Illustrated by: William Sulit

Wife | Daughter | Self investigates identity and the writing life through the perspective of one of the nations top memoir teachers and critics. Curiously, inventively, Beth Kephart reflects on the iterative, composite self in her new memoirtraveling to lakes and rivers, New Mexico and Mexico, the icy waters of Alaska and a hot-air balloon launch in search of understanding. She is accompanied, often, by her Salvadoran-artist husband. She spends time, a lot of time, with her widowed father. As she looks at them she ponders herself and comes to terms with the person she is still becoming. At once sweeping and intimate, Wife | Daughter | Self is a memoir built of interlocking essays by an acclaimed author, teacher, and critic. See more
