HOW TO LOSE YOUR MOTHER: A DAUGHTER’S MEMOIR written and read by Molly Jong-Fast

Political writer, commentator and podcaster Molly Jong-Fast takes a break from her typical gigs to write of the worst year of her life in HOW TO LOSE YOUR MOTHER. She has always been rather a shoo-in for writing a memoir since she has a famous mother, Erica Jong, whose narcissism and alcoholism provides her with lots of material about neglect and her own early alcoholism as “the only child of a once-famous mother, plus she’s fine writer. But she resisted until the hardest year she ever lived—2023 when her mother’s dementia demanded institutional living, her stepfather’s needs followed swiftly the same route and her husband got cancer. She reads the audio of conflicts and conflicted relationships with her characteristic voice which sometimes feels brusque, critical and caustic, but for this candid narration of such vulnerable material her voice varies between edgy, self-judging, comic, and pained and always seems seems perfect.
