This time on the Gulf Coast Life Book Club, we hear from Lynn Tillman. She is a novelist and short story writer and has been a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in Criticism. Today we talk with her about her latest, Mothercare: On Obligation, Love, Death, and Ambivalence. She writes about her mother’s brain injury, and caring for her through it, despite their lifelong rocky relationship. It’s short on sentimentality and long on candor and the crisp insight that Tillman is well known for. Join us to hear our conversation, on the Gulf Coast Life Book Club.
