Description
My Dear Mother is an irresistible treasury of more than a hundred letters from distinguished sons to their mothers, offering an intimate and unexpected glimpse into the mind and heart of the artist. From William Carlos Williams, who panics at a school dance after waltzing up his partner's dress, to Flaubert, who declares his passionate views on marriage, here is a coterie of men whose letters show that every great man is first a son. With letters from such noted mothers as Sarah Bernhardt, George Sand, and Madame Proust scattered throughout, My Dear Mother is a sometimes comical, often touching portrait of the tugging love between sons and mothers.
