Samenvatting
A haunting, unforgettable mother-daughter story for a new generationthe debut of a blazing new lyrical voice
Domenica Ruta grew up in a working-class, unforgiving Italian town north of Boston where in the seventeenth century women were hanged as witches. Her mother, Kathi, a notorious figure in this hardscrabble place, was a drug addict and sometime dealer whose life swung between welfare and riches, whose highbrow taste was at odds with her base appetites. And yet she managed, despite the chaos she created, to instill in her daughter the idea that artvia a classic film or a classical educationcould transcend this life of undying grudges, self-inflicted misfortune, and the crooked moral code that Kathi and her cohorts lived by.With or Without You is the story of Domenicas unconventional coming of agea darkly hilarious chronicle of a misfit 90s childhood and the necessary and painful act of breaking away, and of overcoming her own addictions and demons in the process. In a brilliant stylistic feat, Domenica Ruta has written a powerful, inspiring, compulsively readable, and finally redemptive story about loving and leaving.
Advance praise for With or Without You
Freakishly brilliant, brilliantly freakish, this is one of the best memoirs I have ever read. Domenica Ruta has done something every artist with a failed family must do: She has created herself.Gary Shteyngart
Make it new, Ezra Pound directed, and Domenica Ruta has. Difficult childhoods are plentiful; the talent to transform adversity into art is in short supply. Unflinching in its regard, forgiving in its humor,With or Without You is that rare thing, a story you think you know transformed into one you have to read to the end.Kathryn Harrison
In the world of memoir, Mary Karrs and Geoffrey Wolffs exceptional books burn and brighten, like actual stars among strings of tinsel.With or Without You is like that. I will read whatever Domenica Ruta writes.Amy Bloom
