Heidi Julavits: Directions to Myself

In Directions to Myself, Heidi Julavits explores what it means to raise a child in a time of contradiction and moral complexity. Drawing on both past and present, the book examines the messy minutiae of family life as well as broader, more fraught topics of gender and politics. Intimate, consistent, and refreshingly unsentimental, Directions to Myself cements Julavits’ reputation as one of today’s most innovative nonfiction authors.
