"Uprooted from her childhood in Germany and set adrift in the American Midwest, Maureen was raised by a kind but neglectful mother who loved Jesus more than her own child and a stern, disinterested grandmother who waxed nostalgic about Nazi Germany. Growing up queer and isolated, Maureen often felt unmoored and unloved. Years later, Maureen reflects upon her complicated past. Queen of Snails follows Maureen through time and memory in her quest to untangle the trauma passed down to her over three generations of women. Part memoir and part family history, Queen of Snails is a beautifully drawn, powerful story that examines and transmutes the emotional baggage of violence, abandonment, and displacement."-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

lesbian artist/author recounts growing up in Germany then abruptly moving at the age of ~7 to the US with her (emotionally cold but trying to protect her daughter from a physically threatening ex husband) mother, being shifted from one household of strangers to another, and finally coming to understand more about her family's fractured (possibly part Jewish, definitely part Holocaust-denying Nazi) roots. This is one messed-up childhood, thoughtfully and carefully retold in what I can only hope was a somewhat therapeutic process. ( )
