BODGER, JOAN

The Crack in the Teacup: The Life of an Old Woman Steeped in Stories

Toronto, McClelland & Stewart Ltd. 2001, First Thus. (ISBN: 0771011199) Trade Paperback. Book, Joan Bodger born in 1923, is a self-proclaimed old woman, whose life is so intertwined with story that she cannot write about one without telling about the other. A well-known storyteller and Gestalt therapist, she finds strength in stories - her own, other people's, and the myths and legends of the world. She has lived a life that fell apart not once but several times. Each time, she pieced her life together again; she has learned to appreciate both the mosaic and the cracks.Joan's father was an officer in the United States Coast Guard; her British mother came from a distinguished and eccentric shipping family. Because of her father's job, she moved frequently from one tough American port town to another. But she also lived for a time in an English country house. Trying to fit herself into each new situation, she not only relied on the family stories she knew so well, but she also became an acute observer of the nuances of class shibboleth, racial prejudice.. She writes frankly of the discoveries of childhood, the mysteries of family life, the power of sexuality, the devastating effect of loss, and, through it all, the transforming influence of literature, of story. A remarkable old woman, she tells her story with honesty, candor, and wit. This courageous autobiography will be an inspiration to all readers -- but particularly to women dealing with the poorly charted territory of their later years.412p. illus index. Text complete, but pages slightly wrinkled. Good/As New.
