Mother Puzzles by Mickey Pearlman
This collection examines how women who write have dealt with the relationships of motherhood and daughterhood. It questions why the mother is so often portrayed in current American literature as a viscious destroyer rather than the traditional saintly figure.MICKEY PEARLMAN is an independent scholar, writer, and editor. She was editor of American Women Writing Fiction: Memory, Identity, Family, Space and the author of Reinventing Reality: Patterns and Characters in the Novels of Muriel Spark, Tillie Olsen and the coauthor of Inter/View: Talks with America's Writing Women. She writes often about Muriel Spark and is especially interested in the concepts of space and memory in the work of contemporary American women.
