Willed Retrieval. Susan Robin Suleiman: Budapest Diary: Excerpts from the Motherbook

Summary/Abstract: Books of self-discovery always seem like a sure thing. We like them because they are uplifting, chastening, revealing. Of course they can also be tiresomely edifying and didactic. Susan Rubin Suleiman’s Budapest Diary offers a classic story of self-discovery or rather, rediscovery, but she touches on so many other issues, from feminism to East-West relations, that her book can also be read as a peripatetic American academic’s end-of-century stocktaking—a stocktaking rendered philosophic and tentative by new-found self-knowledge.
