Description: <b>Exquisitely and hypnotically written, like a bold and terrifying dream, <i>The Kiss</i> is breathtaking in its honesty and in the power and beauty of its creation.</b>

In this extraordinary memoir, one of the best young writers in America today transforms into a work of art the darkest passage imaginable in a young woman’s life: an obsessive love affair between father and daughter that began when Kathryn Harrison, twenty years old, was reunited with a parent whose absence had haunted her youth. A story both of taboo and of family complicity in breaking taboo, <i>The Kiss</i> is also about love—about the most primal of love triangles, the one that ensnares a child between mother and father.
