KATHRYN HARRISON - The Kiss

London, England, Fourth Estate, 1997. First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 185702611X Hardback In this extraordinary memoir, one of the best young writers in American today transforms into a work of art the darkest passage inaginable in a young woman's life: the obsessive love affair between father and daughter that began when Kathryn Harrison was twenty years old. A story both of taboo and of family complicity in breaking taboo, The Kiss is also about love - about the most primal of love triangles, the one that ensnares a child between mother and father. Tiny pen dot to inside cover.
