New York, New York, U.S.A.: Picador, 1998. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/As New. The daughter of brilliant and complicated parents--an adoring alcoholic artist for a father and a dazzling, funny, and wildly frustrated mother, driven to see her daughters achieve what had never been possible for herself--Joyce Maynard grew up with a pen in her hand, writing and publishing stories before she reached her teens. AT HOME IN THE WORLD explores the story of Maynard's family, the relationship with famously reclusive author J.D. Salinger, and the way the legendary writer's influence, along with that of her parents, reverberated through her life in the decades that followed. In these pages, she chronicles her painful reentry into the world, her development as a writer, her marriage, her struggle to become a healthy parent to her own children, the death of her parents, and the years following the end of her marriage, when she set out to rebuild her life. AT HOME IN THE WORLD is at once both a tale of an extraordinary and unique experience,and a universal story about coming of age, the experience of loss and confusion, and the struggle to become whole. Told with unblinking honesty, compassion, and surprising humor, AT HOME IN THE WORLD is about redemption and triumph, and the wisdom acquired when at long last a woman embraces the disquieting truths of her history; she received a lot of flak upon publication of this memoi because of her discussion of her relationship with Salingerr. Joyce Maynard is the author of the novels BABY LOVE, TO DIE FOR (made into the movie starring Nicole Kidman), WHERE LO VE GOES, DOMESTIC AFFAIRS, and LABOR DAY (basis of the 2013 movie with Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin). Fine, unread, first edition, first printing, in as new, mylar-protected dust jacket. A98, Picador, 1998, 5<
