Apple, Tree: Writers on Their Parents

Broadway Books 1714 NE Broadway, Portland, OR, United States

We welcome Kate Carroll De Gutes, Mat Johnson, and Sallie Tisdale to the store at 7 pm on Wednesday, September 4th, to read from the newly published anthology Apple, Tree: Writers on Their Parents, edited by Lise Funderburg and published by the University of Nebraska Press. In this new collection, twenty-five authors – including Ann Patchett, Daniel Mendelsohn, Jane Hamilton, and S. Bear Bergman – deftly explore a trait they’ve inherited from a parent, reflecting on how it affects the lives they lead today and how it shifts their relationship to that parent (sometimes posthumously) and to their sense of self.

Lise Funderburg With Sallie Tisdale, Kate Carroll de Gutes & Mat Johnson

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland, OR, United States

It happens to us all: we think we’ve settled into an identity, a self, and then out of nowhere and with great force, the traces of our parents appear to us, in us – in mirrors, in gestures, in reaction and reactivity, at weddings and funerals, and in troubled thoughts that crouch in dark corners of our minds. In Apple, Tree: Writers on Their Parents (University of Nebraska), edited by Lise Funderburg, 25 writers deftly explore a trait they’ve inherited from a parent, reflecting on how it affects the lives they lead today – and how it shifts their relationship to that parent (sometimes posthumously) and to their sense of self. Funderburg will be joined in conversation by contributors Sallie Tisdale, Kate Carroll de Gutes,…
