by M. F. K. Fisher
Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher is known for writing about food. But before she chronicled the world of gastronomy, she was just a kid growing up in Whittier, California.
This memoir focuses on her younger years. Written in essay format, Fisher’s memoir covers everything from her mother’s friendship with the town librarian to her grandmother’s nervous stomach to MF’s very last spanking. Quirky, indeed!
The topics are random, and the writing is very conversational and odd. It very much reminds me of Kate Hepburn’s memoir, Me. This was definitely not what I expected.
