Her abusive father, her sister's suicide, her illness. In this stunning collection of her captivating and frank essays on her life and her Italian-American culture, Louise DeSalvo centers on her beginnings, reframing and revising her acclaimed memoiristic essays, pieces that were the seeds of longer collections, to reveal her true power as a memoirist: the ability to dig ever deeper for personal and political truths that illuminate what it means to be a woman, a second-generation American, a writer, and a scholar. Each essay is driven by a complex inquiry that examines the personal, familial, social, ethnic, and historical dimensions of identity. Collectively, they constitute a story significantly different from DeSalvo's memoirs when they first published, where the starkness of their meaning became blunted by material surrounding them. DeSalvo has also restored material written and then deleted--experiences she was too reticent to reveal before, in writing about her sister's suicide, her husband's adultery, her own sexual assault. The essays also include new material to shift the ballast of an essay as her life has changed significantly through the years. The House of Early Sorrows is a courageous exploration not only of the DeSalvo's family life and times, but also of our own. 546 In English. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 DeSalvo, Louise A.,|d1942-2018.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79067619 600 10 DeSalvo, Louise A.,|d1942-2018|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79067619|xFamily.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00005743 600 11 DeSalvo, Louise A.,|d1942- 600 17 DeSalvo, Louise A.,|d1942-2018.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/37858 650 0 Critics|zUnited States|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008101202 650 0 English literature|xAppreciation|zUnited States.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009003874 650 0 Authors, American|vBiography. 650 0 Italian American women|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85068778|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 0 Italian American families|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85068774|zNew Jersey.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n80046086-781 650 7 Families.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1728849 650 7 Critics.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/883769 650 7 Authors, American|xBiography.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/821768 650 7 English literature|xAppreciation.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/911993 650 7 Italian American families.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/980403 650 7 Italian American women.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/980414 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY|xPersonal Memoirs.|2bisacsh 650 7 Authors, American.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 821764 650 7 Critics|xBiography.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 883771 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 651 7 New Jersey.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1208379 655 2 Biography.|0https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D019215 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 655 7 Essays.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/ gf2014026094 655 7 Essays.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919922 776 08 |iPrint version:|tHouse of early sorrows.|dNew York : Fordham University Press, [2018]|z9780823279302 |z0823279308|w(OCoLC)1002530513 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1728589|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
