Remembering the Bone House

by Nancy Mairs

Published 1 April 1989
Nancy Mairs reconstructs her past by exploring her erotic and emotional development in order to lay claim to her lifeā€”and women's lives in general. Lyrical, intense, and particular, flouting taboos and self-censorship, this acclaimed memoir explores the spaces that have shaped a life, including the "bone house" of her body.
