Title: Another North Author: Jennifer Brice ISBN: 9781597099363 Publisher: Boreal Books Published: 2024 Binding: Paperback Language: English Condition Note: New from the publisher Publisher Description: The pieces in this collection capture the feeling of being buffeted by great gusts of middle-aged longing. What began as one woman's quarrel with Buddhism, especially its doctrine of non-attachment, morphs into a larger question: What's the right way to love a person or a thing? With voluptuous detail and rigorous self-interrogation, Jennifer Brice looks for answers in family lore, personal experience, conversations with friends, and beloved books. The result is a tender, moving, far-reaching--sometimes delightfully funny, sometimes achingly poignant--exploration of the powerful ties that bind us to one another and to the world around us.
