Now, a second thrilling tale of filial sleuthery, this time about her mother: voracious reader, music lover, passionate amateur actor. Also a woman, unhappily married to a closeted gay man, whose artistic aspirations simmered under the surface of Bechdel's childhood . . . and who stopped touching or kissing her daughter good night, forever, when she was seven.Poignantly, hilariously, Bechdel embarks on a quest for answers concerning the motherdaughter gulf. It's a richly layered search that leads readers from the fascinating life and work of the iconic twentiethcentury psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott, to one explosively illuminating Dr. Seuss illustration, to Bechdel?s own (serially monogamous) adult love life. And, finally, back to Mother to a truce, fragile and realtime, that will move and astonish all adult children of gifted mothers.
