I just finished Lidia Yuknavitch’s memoir, or as she might call it, her “anti-memoir.” I don’t know how else to describe THE CHRONOLOGY OF WATER except to say that: (a) I carried this book with me everywhere for 3 days and read pages every chance I got, and (b) her story, and her storytelling, can only be described as a force of nature. It’s like there’s a power-cord running through the chapters.

She is just so lovely in that interview. And the comment about kids teaching us more about ourselves than we will every teach them, love.
Reading your post about the space between made me think of this book.
I’ve had this book for about a year now in my TBR pile. Your comments made me place it at the top of the stack.
It’s been on my shelf for about the same amount of time, Donna. I wasn’t ready for it. And honestly, I didn’t think I was ready for it now, but I saw her speak at AWP and she was magical.
As far as reading the book, it’s very different from any memoir out there, in a lot of ways.
I watched the interview and I was mesmerized…with her way of describing ordinary things, so now, I really can’t wait to get into the book.
Completely adorable. I love her deep voice and the way the syllables seem to roll off her tongue.
When I say she’s a force of nature, I’m not exaggerating even a little. I love how she’s trying to break the memoir mold.
I swallowed that book whole. One of the best memoirs I’ve ever read. I also recommend her novel DORA: A HEADCASE.
I, too, feel like I swallowed it whole, and now I need to back and do it again!

Totally inspiring. Thank you.
