Description

Alice Carrière's memoir is a deeply personal exploration of her unconventional upbringing and its profound impact on her life. Born to a mother who was a renowned artist and a father who was an actor, Alice's childhood was marked by privilege, neglect, loneliness, and danger. As she recounts her experiences in various roles - as a patient in psychiatric hospitals, a participant in the downtown New York music scene, and a victim of destructive encounters with older men - Alice reveals how these personas intersected and collided. Through it all, she grappled with questions of identity, belonging, and what it means to have a sense of self. With unflinching honesty and gallows humour, Alice Carrière weaves together the threads of her narrative, creating a unique and mesmerizing account of emergence and recovery.
