Bibliocracy Radio: L. Annette Binder on Child of Earth and Starry Heaven
This week: L. Annette Binder, the author of the short story collection Rise, winner of the Mary McCarthy Prize, and the novel The Vanishing Sky. Now she’s out with a small, personal, if emotionally, scientifically, poetically encyclopedic book, a meditation exploring her late mother’s dementia. Titled Child of Earth and Starry Heaven, it’s a biography of a person and of a disease, an investigation of Alzheimer’s, and a daughter’s chronicle of attention and care. Part journal, part meditation, part scholarship, this is a multi-form and well-researched account of what Binder learned about the disease, her mother, and herself, and a generous gift to others.
