Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

A memoir of Johnson?s unusual upbringing during the 1970s and ?80s, interwoven with the story of her transition to parenthood in post-recession Portland, Oregon. In the weeks after her first child is born, Jessica E. Johnson receives an email from her mother that contains artifacts of the author?s early childhood: scans of Polaroids and letters her mother wrote in mountain west mining camps and ghost towns?places without running water, companions, or help. Awash in love and restlessness, Johnson begins to see how the bedrock images of her isolated upbringing have stayed with her, even when she believed she was removing herself from their logic. As she copes with the swirling pressures of parenting, teaching at an urban community college, and a partnership shaped by chronic illness, Johnson starts digging through her mother?s keepsakes and the histories of the places her family passed through, uncovering the linked misogyny and disconnection that characterized her childhood world?a world with uncomfortable echoes in the present and even in the act of writing itself. The resulting journey encompasses Johnson?s early memories, the story of the earth told in the language of geology, bits of vivid correspondence, a mothering manual from the early twentieth century, and the daily challenges of personal and collective care in a lonesome-crowded Pacific wonderland. Mettlework traces intergenerational failures of homemaking, traveling toward presence and relationship amid the remains of extractive industry and unsustainable notions of family.…
