The Kiss (Paperback) by Kathryn Harrison bookshelves: bio-diary-memoir |
my rating:

recommended for: Voyeurs
read in May, 2008 
SarahJ said:
"The dynamic among family members is intricate and tragic and I could understand why/how the relationships went awry, but overall it's a yucky story. Her father was one sick puppy, and one wishes Ms. Harrison had found more strength, and sooner.

SarahJ's favorite quotes
"I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything."
— Steven Wright
— Steven Wright
"The written word, obviously, is very inward, and when we're reading, we're thinking. It's a sort of spiritual, meditative activity. When we're looking at visual objects, I think our eyes are obviously directed outward, so there's not as much reflective time. And it's the reflectiveness and the spiritual inwardness about reading that appeals to me."
— Joyce Carol Oates

Oh, thanks! I will try The Bell next, then.
PS- forgive the typo in my first comment! :-)
Hi Brooklyn,
I recommend "The Bell" above all. Thanks for asking. I would like to read it again. I also loved "The Sea, The Sea." "A Word Child" would be third in line.... maybe tied with "The Sacred and Profane Love Machine."

Hi, Sarah!! Thanks for clicking over! :-)
I see your an Iris Murdoch fan. The only one I've read is A Severed Head, which I loved, and Unicorn, which I felt lukewarmly about. Where would you recommend I go from there?
love the addition of the stephen wright quote: he's some kind of low-key genius, no?
