Fathers
Of all the formative human relationships, the one between father and daughter is least written about, especially from the daughter's point of view. With contributions from Angela Carter, Doris Lessing, Grace Paley, Michele Roberts and others, this book is a collage of memoirs and polemic, stories and poems, describing experiences which range from the most intense loyalty and love to the dark and painful areas of paternal tyranny and incest. These writers have produced fascinating and sometimes shocking insights into what is probably the most unresolved relationship of them all. Contributors include: Angela Carter, Doris Lessing, Sara Maitland, Alice Munro, Julia O'Faolain, Grace Paley, Adrienne Rich, Michele Roberts, Alice Walker, and many more
Dads and Daughters
Every father can make a huge difference in his daughter’s life. As the primary male role model in a girl’s life, fathers influence their daughters in profound ways, from how they see themselves to what they come to expect from men and the world at large. But men often don’t realize the importance of their interactions or may shy away from too close involvement because of their inexperience, or conditioning. Especially as girls move into adolescence, fathers may find themselves feeling distant from their daughters or awkward with the changing dynamic. Communication becomes difficult and parenting issues more complicated. But this is also the time when daughters most need their fathers t...

The Artificial Anatomy of Parks
A young woman is thrust back into the midst of the dysfunctional, secretive family she escaped in this“heart-piercing psychological drama…a stunner” (Carol Cassella, author of Oxygen). At twenty-one, Tallulah Park lives alone. There's a sink in her bedroom and a strange damp smell that means she wakes up wheezing. It’s far from luxurious, but it’s far away from her difficult family. Then she gets the call that her father has had a heart attack. Now she’s returning to the root of her bad memories: a world of sniping aunts, precocious cousins, emigrant pianists, and lots of gin, all presided over by an unconventional grandmother.

The Father-Daughter Plot
This provocative collection of essays is a comprehensive study of the "father-daughter dynamic" in Japanese female literary experience. Its contributors examine the ways in which women have been placed politically, ideologically, and symbolically as "daughters" in a culture that venerates "the father." They weigh the impact that this daughterly position has had on both the performance and production of women's writing from the classical period to the present. Conjoining the classical and the modern with a unified theme reveals an important continuum in female authorship-a historical approach often ignored by scholars. The essays devoted to the literature of the classical period discuss canonical texts in a new light, offering important feminist readings that challenge existing scholarship, while those dedicated to modern writers introduce readers to little-known texts with translations and readings that are engaging and original. Contributors: Tomoko Aoyama, Sonja Arntzen, Janice Brown, Rebecca L. Copeland, Midori McKeon, Eileen Mikals-Adachi, Joshua S. Mostow, Sharalyn Orbaugh, Esperanza Ramirez-Christensen, Edith Sarra, Atsuko Sasaki, Ann Sherif.
