Seller's Description:
Alex Metro (Jacket Design) Very good in Very good jacket. [12], 303, [5] pages. Signed by Author sticker on front of DJ. Signed by author on title page. Lisa Gornick is the author of the novels A Private Sorcery, Tinderbox, and Louisa Meets Bear. Her stories and essays have appeared widely, including in Agni, The New York Times, Prairie Schooner, Salon, Slate and Real Simple, and have received many honors including Distinguished Story by the Best American Short Stories. Gornick earned a doctorate in clinical psychology at Yale and is a graduate of the writing program at NYU and the psychoanalytic training program at Columbia, where she is on the faculty. For many years, she worked in clinics, hospitals, and private practice as a psychotherapist, a profession she has depicted in various essays as based on "sacred trust." When Louisa and Bear meet at Princeton in 1975, sparks fly. Louisa is the sexually adventurous daughter of a geneticist, Bear the volatile son of a plumber. They dive headfirst into a passionate affair that will alter the course of their lives, changing how they define themselves in the years and relationships that follow. Lisa Gornick's Louisa Meets Bear is a gripping novel in interconnected stories. Reading Louisa Meets Bear is like assembling a jigsaw puzzle, as we uncover the subtle and startling connections between new characters and the star-crossed lovers. We meet a daughter who stabs her mother when she learns the truth about her father, a wife who sees herself clearly after finding a man dead on her office floor, a mother who discovers a girl in her teenage son's bed. Each character is striking, each rendered with Gornick's trademark sympathy and psychological acuity. We follow them over the course of a half century, from San Francisco to New York City and from Guatemala to Venice, through pregnancies, tragedies, and revelations, until we return to Louisa and Bear. Louisa Meets Bear grapples with whether we can-or can't-choose how and whom we love.
