<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>At mid-life, Claire Dederer developed a sudden yearning for jailbreak. In this exuberant memoir, she reflects on two periods in her life uncannily similar in their emotional intensity: her present experience as a middle-aged mom in the grip of unruly and mysterious new hungers, and her recollections of herself as a teenager. Blazingly intelligent, wickedly funny, and piercingly honest, in <i>Love and Trouble</i> Dederer captures the perils and pleasures of girlhood, womanhood, and life itself.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>One of the Best Books of the Year: <i>The Stranger</i> and <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/>"Not only one of my favorite feminist books, but one of my favorite books of the last few years, period. . . . Exquisite. . . . So sharp and real and revelatory. . . . I loved it so, so much." --Cheryl Strayed <p/>"Sentence for sentence, a more pleasure-yielding midlife memoir is hard to think of." --<i>The Atlantic</i> <p/>"Dederer is not only a brilliant author, but an honest and brave one." --Elizabeth Gilbert, author of <i>Eat, Pray, Love</i> <p/> "Dederer is an excellent writer who spins her prose with the casual grace and easy humor of a seasoned professional." --<i>The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/>"Ferociously honest." --<i>The Seattle Times</i> <p/> "This knowing and original memoir abounds with intelligence, wit, earned nostalgia, and an impressive degree of understanding about no less than being female and becoming a person." --Meg Wolitzer, author of <i>The Interestings</i> <p/> "Affecting and . . . darkly amusing." --<i>The Washington Post</i> <p/>"The most surprising and subversive memoir I've read in years." --Stephanie Danler, author of <i>Sweetbitter</i><br><i> </i><br> "What emerges, in the course of this vivid, hilarious, daring self-portrait of a book, is a person who has achieved clarity about her own contradictions, or at least has figured out how to use those contradictions as an excuse to bring lively writing into the world. . . . The memoir is practically a master class in narrative technique." --<i>The Stranger</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Claire Dederer is the author of the <i>New York Times</i> best-selling memoir <i>Poser: My Life in Twenty-three Yoga Poses</i>, which has been translated into twelve languages and which Elizabeth Gilbert called "the book we all need." A book critic, essayist, and reporter, Dederer is a longtime contributor to <i>The New York Times</i> and has also written for <i>The Atlantic</i>, <i>Vogue</i>, <i>Slate</i>, <i>The Nation</i>, and <i>New York</i> magazine, among other publications.
