Reviews
Marianna Torgovnick looks back without anger, but with compassion and acceptance, even for herself, at her life and successful career. Re-examining key elements of her past, including ethnic mobility, family quarrels, unfinished grieving, professional crises, moves, separations, and re-inventions, she writes a new life narrative. A generous, and relatable memoir that will chime with the feelings of many readers at this post-pandemic time of reflection and emergence. ---Elaine Showalter, Professor Emerita of English, Princeton University, ...intelligent and well written, at times intimately personal and at other times analytical, metaphorical, and coolly rational... the interweaving of narratives, analysis, and life figures and the topical inclusions are correlated with skill and compassion., We face mortality with frenetic energy: in turns, protesting its injustice, delaying its arrival, and organizing in its aftermath. As the most ordinary of events and the most spectacular, death measures the erosion of the social fabric. Atlanta spas, Black Lives Matter, COVID-19, and many more terms have come to signify loss not only of individuals but also of the civic structures that we inhabit. Crossing Back demonstrates how we grieve in this time of mourning. Ornately detailing practices like reading and meditation as responses to personal bereavement, the memoir movingly demonstrates how to hang on and to let go of the people and things we love. ---Sean Metzger, UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television, Marianna Torgovnick looks back without anger, but with compassion and acceptance, even for herself, at her life and successful career. Re-examining key elements of her past, including ethnic mobility, family quarrels, unfinished grieving, professional crises, moves, separations, and re-inventions, she writes a new life narrative. A generous, and relatable memoir that will chime with the feelings of many readers at this post-pandemic time of reflection and emergence. ---Elaine Showalter, Professor Emerita of English, Princeton University,, Rich in personal detail and expansive in its exploration of family relationships, an enduring marriage, and the death of her mother and brother, Crossing Back also includes delightful meditations on elephants and children's books, food, yoga, and our fascination with empty cities. Marianna Torgovnik's searching effort to come to terms with the inevitable changes and losses that life has brought her way, has thoughtful lessons to convey about the importance of grieving and remembering throughout one's life. ---Janice Radway, Walter Dill Scott Professor of Communication Studies and Director, Gender & Sexuality Studies, Northwestern University, Marianna Torgovnick looks back without anger, but with compassion and acceptance, even for herself, at her life and successful career. Re-examining key elements of her past, including ethnic mobility, family quarrels, unfinished grieving, professional crises, moves, separations, and re-inventions, she writes a new life narrative. Agenerous, and relatable memoir that will chime with the feelings of many readers at this post-pandemic time of reflection and emergence. ---Elaine Showalter, Professor Emerita of English, Princeton University,, We face mortality with frenetic energy: in turns, protesting its injustice, delaying its arrival, and organizing in its aftermath.
