Molly Wizenberg

    Cette autrice explore l'expérience humaine à travers le prisme de la vie quotidienne et des relations, se concentrant initialement sur le monde de la gastronomie. Son écriture enquête en profondeur sur la quête de sens et d'identité personnelle, un thème qui résonne tout au long de son œuvre. Par la réflexion intime et l'auto-examen, elle offre des aperçus profonds sur les complexités de la sexualité, de la maternité et du voyage de redécouverte de soi lors de transitions de vie cruciales. Sa prose se caractérise par une honnêteté brute et une volonté d'aborder des questions difficiles, trouvant souvent réconfort et compréhension dans l'acte même de l'interrogation.

      From a bestselling writer, an intense and moving memoir about changing identity, complex sexuality, and enduring family relationships--now in paperback At age 36, while serving on a jury, author Molly Wizenberg found herself drawn to a female attorney. Married to a man for nearly a decade and mother to a toddler, Wizenberg tried to return to her life as she knew it, but she felt that something inside her had changed irrevocably. Instead, she would discover that the trajectory of our lives is rarely as smooth or as logical as we'd like to believe. Like many of us, Wizenberg had long understood sexual orientation as a stable part of ourselves: we're "born this way." Suddenly she realized that her story was more complicated. Who was she, she wondered, if something at her very core could change so radically? The Fixed Stars is a taut, electrifying memoir exploring timely and timeless questions about desire, identity, and the limits and possibilities of family. In honest and searing prose, Wizenberg forges a new path: through the murk of separation and divorce, coming out to family and friends, learning to co-parent a young child, and realizing a new vision of love. The result is a frank and moving story about letting go of rigid definitions and ideals that no longer fit, and learning instead who we really are.
