NOTES
These eleven essays combine a memoir of an exotic life, reflections on the art and craft of writing, and a brilliant examination of the ever-complex relationship between fiction and life. "Taming the Gorgon," an account of translating a difficult parent into fiction becomes a poignant and funny meditation on the intricate knot binding mothers and daughters. The story of a scandal created by publication, "Sex with the Servants" is an inquiry into the porous boundary between private truth and public betrayal
