|
|
In this follow-up to her memoir She’s Not There, Jennifer Finney Boylan tells of growing up in a haunted house in 1970s Pennsylvania. At the time Finney was still a boy named James, trying to come to terms with her dysfunctional family and her gender disorder, as well as the ghostly images and voices of "Coffin House," the family home. Years later Finney returns with a crew of ghostbusters, to come to terms with not only the spirits but also the people, places, and identity she left behind. "Jenny Boylan’s I’m Looking Through You ranks right up there with Mary Karr’s The Liar’s Club and Tobias Wolff’s This Boy’s Life as one of the finest literary memoirs of the last several decades. Like these, it’s a haunting revelation of the human heart, its terrible longings, its fears and joys, the secret recesses where we most truly dwell. How alike we all are, down this deep."—Richard Russo
