description: A compilation of sketches photographs and letters Welcome Home is an essential nonfiction companion to the stories by Lucia Berlin.Before Lucia Berlin died she was working on a book of previously unpublished autobiographical sketches called Welcome Home.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.
