From the author of Weird Fucks, a witty, bleak, and outrageous
account of American girlhood. Haunted Houses is the story of three
young women. Jane's occasionally violent father reads her the
Gettysburg Address at bedtimes, while Emily's parents are FDR
Democrats who only privately concede she may be normal. Grace
believes her dolls come alive at night and talk against her, and
has a mother who likes animals more than people. Tillman charts the
girls' unsteady drift into womanhood, revealing the multiple forms
of inheritance - family, gender, culture - that a girl must swallow
or rebel against. Haunted Houses is about the past within the
present, the inescapability of private memory and public history.
In prose that is uncanny and precise, it showcases Lynne Tillman at
her boldest and most trenchant.
