Winner of the 2018 New Academy Prize in Literature

In this collection of autobiographical essays, Maryse Cond vividly evokes the relationships and events that gave her childhood meaning: discovering her parents' feelings of alienation; her first crush; a falling out with her best friend; the death of her beloved grandmother; her first encounter with racism.

These gemlike vignettes capture the spirit of Cond 's fiction: haunting, powerful, poignant, and leavened with a streak of humor.
