How to lose your mother : a daughter's memoir
Jong-Fast, Molly, 1978-2025
Book
Molly Jong-Fast is the daughter of acclaimed writer Erica Jong. How to Lose Your Mother is Molly's delicious and despairing memoir about that intense mother-daughter relationship, a sometimes-chaotic upbringing with a fame-hungry parent, and how that can really mess you up. But with her mother's heartbreaking descent into dementia, and Molly's realization that she is going to lose this remarkable woman, it is also a story of love, loss, confusion and deep grief. Honest, moving and brutally funny, How to Lose Your Mother takes us behind the scenes of a fascinating and sometimes tumultuous family dynamic, revels in the gossipy details of Erica's famous friends and enemies, and leaves us with a better understanding of our own most precious relationships.
