Synopsis "Welcome Home: A Memoir With Selected Photographs and Letters "

"As the case with her fiction, Berlin's pieces here are as faceted as the brightest diamond." --Kristin Iversen, NYLONNEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS' CHOICE. Named a Fall Read by Buzzfeed, Vulture, Newsday and HuffPostA compilation of sketches, photographs, and letters, Welcome Home is an essential nonfiction companion to the stories by Lucia BerlinBefore Lucia Berlin died, she was working on a book of previously unpublished autobiographical sketches called Welcome Home. The work consisted of more than twenty chapters that started in 1936 in Alaska and ended (prematurely) in 1966 in southern Mexico. In our publication of Welcome Home, her son Jeff Berlin is filling in the gaps with photos and letters from her eventful, romantic, and tragic life. From Alaska to Argentina, Kentucky to Mexico, New York City to Chile, Berlin's world was wide. And the writing here is, as we've come to expect, dazzling. She describes the places she lived and the people she knew with all the style and wit and heart and humor that readers fell in love with in her stories. Combined with letters from and photos of friends and lovers, Welcome Home is an essential nonfiction companion to A Manual for Cleaning Women and Evening in Paradise.

(1936-2004) published her first stories at twenty-four. All her literature is inspired by her own memories: her childhood in various mining towns in Idaho, Kentucky, and Montana, her glamorous adolescence in Santiago de Chile, her stays in El Paso, New York, Mexico, or California, her three failed marriages, her alcoholism, or the various jobs she held to support her four children: nurse, telephone operator, cleaner, writing teacher at various universities and in a prison. She published six books of stories and has been awarded numerous times.
