Description
Shirley Jackson's Raising Demons is a humorous and insightful account of life as a mother of four and faculty wife. With wry wit and uncanny precision, she skewers the trials of domestic life in 1950s America. In this sequel to Life Among the Savages, Jackson's family has grown into fully-fledged challenges. As their house starts to burst at the seams, they somehow manage to move into a larger home, taking the chaos with them. From absent furniture to misbehaving refrigerators, Jackson's writing captures the absurdity and unpredictability of family life. With its comic joy and relatable portrayal of domestic struggles, Raising Demons is a worthwhile read for anyone who has ever navigated the ups and downs of family life.
