Grand and minute, elegiac and hilarious, Lynne Tillman expands the possibilities of the American novel in this dazzling read about a former historian ruminating on her own life and the lives of others--named a best book of the century by Vulture. In the hypnotic, masterful American Genius, A Comedy, a former historian spending time in a residential home, mental institute, artist’s colony, or sanitarium, is spinning tales of her life and ruminating on her many and varied preoccupations: chair design, textiles, pet deaths, family trauma, a lost brother, the Manson family, the Zulu alphabet, loneliness, memory, and sensitive skin--and what “sensitivity” means in our culture and society. Showing what might happen if Jane Austen were writing in 21st-century America, Tillman fashions a microcosm of American democracy: a scholarly colony functioning like Melville's Pequod. All this is folded into the narrator's memories and emotional life, culminating in a seance that may offer escape and transcendence--or perhaps nothing at all. This new edition of a contemporary classic features an introduction by novelist Lucy Ives.

Back Page I stand in awe of Christine's honesty, transparency, courage, and the majesty of her loving herself enough to heal herself through the sharing of her story. This book is a must read for parents and children alike who have been victims of domestic violence. Christine tears down the age-old adage of "what goes on in the house stays in this house." This book gives a voice to the voiceless children who are victims of domestic violence who suffer in silence. Dr. Lateshia Woodley, LPC, NCC Counseling Psychologist, Author, Speaker Letting Go of the Child Within Have you ever had a child tug on you to get your attention? They will tug and tug and sometimes call your name until you answer. This is what hidden wounds will do. No matter how much you try to bury it, it's still there. No matter how many times you try to forget it, it's still there. No matter how much you try to move forward, it's still there, tugging until you answer. "I Remember" is the journey of a woman remembering her past, forgiving her present, and letting go of the little girl within to save her future. "I Remember" will take you on a journey of uncovering masked wounds to reveal the undiscovered you by coming face to face with your truths. Christine draws scripture to reveal how remembering, forgiving, and letting go set individuals free to reach their full potential by facing truth to release the power that is within.
