07.21: Wondering Who You Are: A Memoir
2015-06-16 23:04:40| Powells Books Events Calendar
In the 23rd year of their marriage, Sonya Lea's husband, Richard, went in for surgery to treat a rare appendix cancer. When he came out, he had no recollection of their life together: how they met, their wedding day, the births of their two children. All of it was gone, along with the rockier parts of their past — her drinking, his anger. Richard could now hardly speak, emote, or create memories from moment to moment. Who he'd been no longer was. Wondering Who You Are (Tin House) braids the story of Sonya and Richard's relationship, those memories that he could no longer conjure, together with his fateful days in the hospital. It follows the couple through his recovery and through a marriage no longer grounded on decades of shared experience. As they build a fresh life together, as Richard develops a new personality, Lea is forced to question her own assumptions, beliefs, and desires, her place in the marriage and her way of being in the world. With radical candor and honesty, Lea's memoir is both a powerful look at perseverance in the face of trauma and a surprising exploration into what lies beyond our fragile identities.
06.04: Visiting Hours: A Memoir of Friendship and Murder
2015-05-18 22:04:43| Powells Books Events Calendar
In her powerful and unforgettable memoir, Visiting Hours (Blue Rider Press), Amy Butcher examines the shattering consequences of failing a friend when she felt he needed one most. Four weeks before their college graduation, 21-year old Kevin Schaeffer walked Butcher to her home in their college town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Hours after parting ways, he fatally stabbed his ex-girlfriend, Emily Silverstein. While he was awaiting trial, psychiatrists concluded that he had suffered an acute psychotic break. Although severely affected by Kevin's crime, Butcher remained devoted to him as a friend, believing that his actions were the direct result of his untreated illness. Over time, she became obsessed — determined to discover the narrative that explained what Kevin had done. Visiting Hours is Butcher's deeply personal, heart-wrenching exploration of how trauma affects memory and the way a friendship changes and often strengthens through seemingly insurmountable challenges.
