Description: In EXCAVATION: A MEMOIR, the black and white of the standard victim/perpetrator stereotype gives way to unsettling grays. The present- day narrator reflects on the girl she once was, as well as the teacher and parent she has become. It's a beautifully written and powerful story of a woman reclaiming her whole heart.
Notes: "An essay entitled 'Mix tape,' which included details from this memoir, was previously published by The nervous breakdown."--Title page verso.
