[the book] reads like a skier on a slalom course full of jigs, jags, and quick jumps that capture a good amount of the fine surprises and sudden disasters in her life."Norman Mailer "Each piece or collage represents a thread of memories that veil and unveil other memories of loss, abuse, and fragmentation. Places in the Bone is an extraordinary work of literature written with grace, eloquence, and dignityan important testimony of endurance as well as hope."Marjorie Agosín, author of Poems for Josefina and recipient of the United Nations Leadership Award for Human Rights. "I can't remember the last time I was so captured by a book's spell. Carol Dine brilliantly blends past and present events and emotions so that time becomes a collective experience, not a mere chronology. Although this beautiful memoir is full of sorrow, it is ultimately about the redemptive power of art and language."Stephen McCauley, author of The Object of My Affection and True Enough |
