New Ways to Kill Your Mother
Writers and Their Families
by Colm Toibín
First Printing, 2012, Scribner
Hardcover with dust jacket, 345 pages
Ex-Libris
New Ways to Kill Your Mother: Writers and Their Families is a non-fiction collection of essays by Colm Toibín that explores how the personal and often fraught family relationships of famous writers influenced their work. The central thesis is that writers must, in a metaphorical sense, "kill" or distance themselves from their families and literary predecessors to find their own voice and create original work.
Pages unmarked. Library Discard. Dust jacket has been reinforced with plastic protector by library. Cover and spine have identifying library decals.
