Destroy This House: A Night with Author & Publisher Amanda Uhle
Advertisement
Join us on Friday, June 26, at 6:30 p.m. as we welcome author and Executive Director & Publisher of McSweeney’s Amanda Uhle to celebrate her recently released memoir “Destroy This House.” In an account that Erika Krouse of “Tell Me Everything” describes as “poignant, wryly funny, and exquisitely written,” Uhle writes about a childhood teeming with instability.
Vacillating wildly between obscene wealth and financial ruin, including navigating her fashion designer mother’s hoarding and her preacher father’s penchant for maximalism, Uhle orchestrates a hard-won escape into independence. Hers is a story of creating steadiness amidst turbulence, of finding a way to love and care for her family despite a longing to, well, destroy it all.
