Disgust: A Memoir
Descripción
"When, in my twenties, I came out to my parents as a lesbian, I became an object of their disgust. As a result, I worked to eliminate disgust from my repertoire of emotions."
In this hybrid memoir, novelist Stephanie Grant works to make sense of three generations of female self-disgust in her family while considering how it challenges both the American ideal of equality and our real-life experiences of intimacy. Disgust: A Memoir is funny, tender, and rigorous in its exploration of how the most difficult emotion functions both in our private lives and our collective imaginations.

Acerca del Autor
Grant, Stephanie
Stephanie Grant's first novel, The Passion of Alice, was published by Houghton Mifflin (1995), and was nominated for Britain's Orange Prize for Women Writers and the Lambda Award for Best Lesbian Fiction. About Grant, the Boston Globe wrote: Her prose style is relentlessly cool and stark, serving as x-ray vision that registers the hardest truths without prettification. Her second novel, Map of Ireland, (Scribner 2008) is a contemporary retelling of Huck Finn that places female sexuality and friendship at the center of a foundational American myth about race. It was nominated for the Lambda Award for Best Lesbian Fiction and was an Honor Title for the Massachusetts Book Award. Grant has received fellowships and awards by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Rona Jaffe Foundation, the Ludwig Vogelstein Foundation, and the Ohio Arts Council, among others. She currently directs the MFA Program in Creative Writing at American University.Garantía & Otros
