The names of Kristin Hersh's sons are the only ones included in her new memoir, \u003ci\u003eSeeing Sideways\u003c\/i\u003e. As the book unfolds and her sons' voices rise from its pages, it becomes clear why: these names tell the story of her life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis story begins in 1990, when Hersh is the leader of the indie rock group Throwing Muses, touring steadily, and the mother of a young son, Doony. The chapters that follow reveal a woman and mother whose life and career grow and change with each of her sons: the story of a custody battle for Doony is told alongside that of Hersh's struggles with her record company and the resulting PTSD; the tale of breaking free from her record label stands in counterpoint to her recounting of her pregnancy with Ryder; a period of writer's block coincides with the development of Wyatt as an artist and the family's loss of their home; and finally, soon after Bodhi's arrival, Hersh and her boys face crises from which only strange angels can save them. Punctuated with her own song lyrics, \u003ci\u003eSeeing Sideways\u003c\/i\u003e is a memoir about a life strange enough to be fiction, but so raw and moving that it can only be real.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kristin Hersh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 147731234X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781477312346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.70w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2021","brand":"Kristin Hersh","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44051651690751,"sku":"9781477312346","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a20eacee-3aa9-4a0d-81ad-c801324c6c8b.jpg?v=1685014361","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/seeing-sideways-kristin-hersh-9781477312346","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
