Catch Mother

Who was with us when we were growing up, and who remained when we grew up? Some authors create a multifaceted portrait of motherhood, others reflect on childhood traumas, and some seek parental figures in the women around them - grandmothers, aunts, teachers. These are texts about distance and closeness, about escaping home and returning, about attempting to reconstruct the image of mother and define what it means for her to be — and whether she can be caught.
