內容簡介

Just a Dropped Stitch is a memoir told in interlocking short stories. It’s a family photo album; each snapshot tells a mini-story. You’re sure you understand what you’re seeing, but it’s not until you’ve finished flipping through the entire album that you develop an intimate sense of who this family is. You thought you knew them, understood all the subtleties and dynamics, but, change the angle, soften the focus, flip the page; there’s a different story. Jesse, the narrator, is on a search. She’s trying to identify the ""dropped stitches"" in her own life, to name them, and reknit them into a whole. As the book opens Jesse’s mother is dying, but Jesse and her father find it impossible to face the inevitable. Turn the page: Jesse desperately wants to have children; she’s a lesbian; she has to figure out how to make that happen. Later we meet her children, Noah and Sophie; we’re introduced to Anna, who becomes Jesse’s spouse, before the world has caught up with the concept. We meet grandparents, and learn that in Jesse’s family writing is revered, but infused with unspoken taboos. And we meet her brothers who each has a particular place to stand in the family portrait. Jesse has a story to tell, and she isn’t sure it’s safe to tell it. Loss and grief, being silenced and silencing oneself, becoming frozen, and the heat-generating, melting power of love, these are the themes in Just a Dropped Stitch. The importance of naming, the redemption that comes from breaking silences, these are the interwoven threads. Meanwhile, keep flipping through the album and you see snapshots of everyday life: hiking with Noah, shopping with Sophie for a bat mitzvah dress. And Jesse’s mother, who refuses to completely disappear, makes a surprise appearance, embarrassing Jesse at a job interview. As we close the album, we’re keeping vigil with Jesse in the hospital while she waits to hear whether she has the disease that killed her mother. And, then, there’s a final snapshot: a handmade Chinese box, with sides that drop open, revealing a blood-red interior where there’s nothing to hide.
