Description

    The author of The Giant's House traces her marriage and relocation to France at the height of her writing career, her devastation over her stillborn son in her ninth month of pregnancy, and her heart-wrenching grieving process. Novelist Elizabeth McCracken (THE GIANT'S HOUSE, NIAGARA FALLS ALL OVER AGAIN) writes a surprisingly witty and charming memoir about a devastating topic, the stillborn delivery of her firstborn child. McCracken has a knack for wry observation and insight, and she brings these talents to bear on her pregnancy in France, a blissfully happy period brought to a tragic close with the child's death--a tragedy she comes to realize has everything to do with the death of her fantasies about life. The result is a wonderfully written memoir that ranges in tone from whimsical to heartbreaking. Selected by the New York Times Book Review as a Notable Book of 2008.

Expert Reviews

Reviewer: Lucinda Rosenfeld, (New York Times Book Review)

"McCracken even gives Dorothy Parker a run for quotable drollness...Yet, ultimately, AN EXACT REPLICA OF A FIGMENT OF MY IMAGINATION is sad, at times even tear-inducing..."
