'It is Hustvedt's gift to write with exemplary clarity of what is
by necessity unclear.' Hilary Mantel, Guardian Feminist philosophy
meets family memoir in a fresh essay collection by the
award-winning essayist and novelist Siri Hustvedt, author of the
bestselling What I Loved and Booker Prize-longlisted The Blazing
World. Siri Hustvedt's relentlessly curious mind and expansive
intellect are on full display in this stunning new collection of
essays, whose subjects range from the nature of memory and time to
what we inherit from our parents, the power of art during tragedy,
misogyny, motherhood, neuroscience, and the books we turn to during
a pandemic. Drawing on family history as well as her own life and
experiences, she examines the porousness of borders of all kinds in
a masterful intellectual journey that is at once personal and
universal. Ultimately, Mothers, Fathers, and Others reminds us that
the boundaries we take for granted-between ourselves and others,
between art and viewer-are far less stable than we imagine.
