An Unsuitable Princess: A True Fantasy | A Fantastical Memoir

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (22226 ratings)

Description:Both a coming-of-age memoir and a meditation on how people construct their daydreams when their realities inevitably disappoint. Jane Rosenberg LaForge's sad and witty memoir tells two stories simultaneously: A middle class girl muses on the social and economic phenomena the author observed while growing up in Hollywood during the birth of the hippie movement, the sexual revolution, women's liberation, and the growth of Renaissance England re-enactments. She does not save the boy she thinks she loves. Indeed, she may have hastened his death. Even years later the only way she can acknowledge this failure is by spinning an elaborate fantasy of a wretched orphan who turns out to be a princess. PRAISE “Jane Rosenberg LaForge’s An Unsuitable Princess is a daring combination of old-school storytelling and the true wit of the best of contemporary memoirists. The first of these is a fairy tale about a young woman who cannot speak, while the second tells of the author’s awkward coming of age within the shadows of a disintegrating Hollywood neighborhood. But it is when these two narratives prove themselves inescapably linked that the novel takes its most affecting turn. ‘Tell me the story of your life,’’ the author’s daughter asks, and so the author does, with both hilarious and heartbreaking repercussions. ‘Finally,’ the author writes, ‘I am famous.’” —Michelle Hoover, author of The Quickening “It’s two, two, two tales in one. On your left, a deftly told Early Modern horsey fantasy; on your right, an aching memoir of the authorial teenage Ren Faire trauma that begat the tale. Rosenberg LaForge has crafted a quirky and compelling new class of literary mashup.” —Jess Winfield, co-founder, Reduced Shakespeare Co. and author of My Name is Will: A Novel of Sex, Drugs, and Shakespeare “Rosenberg LaForge lays out her dreams and desires in this tender and heartbreakingly candid reinvention of memory. An Unsuitable Princess is an entirely original look at life, personal history, and one’s original hopes.” —Kate Southwood, author of Falling to EarthWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
