New Ways to Kill Your Mother: Writers and Their Families
- Used Book in Good Condition
Novelist and critic Colm TÃ³ibÃn provides â€œa fascinating exploration of writers and their familiesâ€ (Entertainment Weekly) and â€œan excellent guide through the dark terrain of unconscious desiresâ€ (The Evening Standard) in this brilliant collection of essays that explore the relationships of writers to their families and their work.

Novelist and critic Colm TÃ³ibÃn explores the relationships of writers with their families and their work in the brilliant, nuanced, and wholly original New Ways to Kill Your Mother.

TÃ³ibÃnâ€”celebrated both for his award-winning fiction and his provocative book reviews and essaysâ€”traces the intriguing, often twisted family ties of writers in the books they leave behind.

Through the relationship between W. B. Yeats and his father, Thomas Mann and his children, Jane Austen and her aunts, and Tennessee Williams and his sister, TÃ³ibÃn examines a world of relations, richly comic or savage in their implications. Acutely perceptive and imbued with rare tenderness and wit, New Ways to Kill Your Mother is a fascinating look at writersâ€™ most influential bonds and a secret key to understanding and enjoying their work.
