AUGUST 1 - Rue Matthiessen Castles and Ruins: Unraveling Family Mysteries & Literary Legacy in the Irish Countryside
In an exquisitely written memoir of family, loss, and longing, Pushcart Prize nominee Rue Matthiessen examines a daughter's childhood growing up in Sagaponack with her spirited mother lost too soon, and her search for connection with her distant, iconic father--celebrated author Peter Matthiessen. Castles and Ruins is both an elegy and a revelation--an intimate exploration of the past that speaks to the complexities of love, legacy, and identity.
