520    As the child of children of immigrants, Louise DeSalvo was
       at first reluctant to write about her truths. 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.
