Donation starting at $15
The Shala Ft. Greene
“Our mothers always remain the strangest, craziest people we’ve ever met.” — Marguerite Duras
What is it about motherhood that feels so unhinged, so wild or downright crazy? Author of The Book of Mother, a fictional account of her mother’s bipolar disorder, Violaine holds space for an open discussion on having a challenging mother and becoming a mother.
Donations go to Win: providing safe housing and critical services to help homeless women and their children rebuild their lives and break the cycle of homelessness.
The Book of Mother, originally published in French under the title Fugitive parce que Reine, was translated around the world. It was longlisted for the International Booker Prize selected as one of The New York Times most notable books of 2021.
