Trying: A Memoir
by Chloe CaldwellIf you’re writing about your life in real time, are you inherently fucked? Over the years that Chloé Caldwell had been married and hoping to conceive a child, she’d read everything she could find on infertility. But no memoir or message board reflected her experience; for one thing, most stories ended with in vitro fertilization, a baby, or both. She wanted to offer something different.Caldwell began a book. She imagined a selective journal about her experience coping with stasis and uncertainty. Is it time to quit coffee, find a new acupuncturist, get another blood test? Her questions extended to her job at a clothing boutique and to her teaching and writing practice. Why do people love equating publishing books with giving birth? What is the right amount of money to spend on pants or fertility treatments? How much trying is enough? She ignored the sense that something else in her life was wrong that was not on the page . . . until she extracted a confession from her husband.Broken by betrayal but freed from domesticity, Caldwell felt reawakened, to long-buried desires, to her queer identity, to pleasure and possibility. She kept writing, making sense of her new reality as it took shape. With the candor, irreverence, and heart that have made Caldwell’s work beloved, Trying intimately captures a self in a continuous process of becoming—and the mysterious ways that writing informs that process.

Tudo o que aprendi com as minhas filhas
by Catarina RaminhosUm livro na primeira pessoa feito de humor e amor Com três letrinhas apenas se escreve a palavra mãe, mas para filhas é preciso o dobro. No caso da Catarina, o triplo: da paciência, da disponibilidade, da concentração, da comida… Todos os dias são dias de ensinar alguma coisa: que não se come com as mãos, que a roupa suja é para pôr no cesto, que a sociedade espera muito mais das mulheres do que dos homens… Mas a verdade é que uma mãe também aprende. Mesmo naqueles dias em que já não pode ouvir as filhas que não se calaram desde que saltaram da cama. Catarina Raminhos tem aprendido muito. Por exemplo, que as camisas largas e compridas são para se usar com um nó, que pintar as unhas é uma forma de empoderamento, que as riscas vão bem com bolas, afinal, ou que o amor pelos filhos é mesmo incondicional. Também aprendeu que com o nascimento de um filho, nasce um medo mesmo a sério que nunca mais desaparece. Por outro lado, ficou a saber recentemente que ninguém morre por não tomar banho todos os dias. E se isto não é uma boa descoberta, não sabemos o que é. Com tantas horas diárias de aprendizagem, Catarina decidiu compilar as coisas mais importantes que as filhas lhe ensinaram e o resultado é este livro que porá qualquer leitor a chorar: seja com lágrimas de comoção, seja a rir às gargalhadas. É que a Catarina tem muita graça. E muita, muita paciência.
