Mothers, Fathers, and Others

Feminist philosophy meets family memoir in this new essay collection from Siri Hustvedt, an exploration of the shifting borders that define human experience, including boundaries we usually take for granted - between ourselves and others, nature and nurture, viewer and artwork - which turn out to be far less stable than we imagine. A journey into urgent questions about familial love and hate, human prejudice and cruelty, and the transformative power of art.
