In telling the story of her own complex and ever-shifting familial ties, Felman (performance artist, writer, and professor of women's studies) reveals the evolution of her own obsessions and longings from those of a child in her family's kosher kitchen to those of an adult sampling her woman lover's shrimp recipe. Through her family stories, she offers a tale of the universal desire for love and connection. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
