To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
She and Sue Miller are old friends.Q: When did you first get the idea for this book? Was it while your fa ther was still living? Did you keep any kind of journal during the time you were caring for him?A: I didn’t think of writing about my father’s life and illness and death until after he had died. While he was still alive and in my care, I was struggling so hard to write some fiction—I was writing and I finished Family Pictures, my second novel, when he lived near me, and I began For Love whil...e he was still alive—that it wouldn’t have occurred to me to try such a book. But I had such a powerful reaction to his death, and it stayed with me intermittently for so long, that within a year and a half or so, I had decided I would try to make some accounting of all of it. I had no journal, so some of our exchanges are my approximations of what we actually said to each other. Often I imprinted them in memory by repeating them to my husband, in horror or amusement or bemusement.Q: Why do you suppose you were compelled to write nonfiction about your father, but fiction—so far—about your mother?A: I think the grief I felt for my father was so prolonged and overpowering that the initial impulse had to do with getting some control over that.
