Jeannie Vanasco on the Mother-Daughter Relationship in Memoir
This week we come back to a topic, the mother-daughter relationship, we’ve covered in various ways over the years. Author Jeannie Vanasco has a unique take, however, in that her mother lived with her while she was writing her new book, A Silent Treatment. She shares with us about writing from “within an experience” and why she wrote this book “for” her mother. There are endless nuances to explore when it comes to the mother-daughter relationship, and Grant and Brooke get into why this is a dynamic that memoirists will always be drawn to.
Jeannie Vanasco is the author of the memoirs Things We Didn’t Talk About When I Was a Girl—which was named a New York Times Editors' Choice and a best book of 2019 by TIME, Esquire, Kirkus, among others—and The Glass Eye, which Poets & Writers called one of the five best literary nonfiction debuts of 2017. Her third book, A Silent Treatment, is out this month on Tin House. Born and raised in Sandusky, Ohio, she lives in Baltimore and is an associate professor of English at Towson University.
