SUMMARY:Dani Shapiro returns to Mrs. Dalloway's to present Inheritance: A Memoir of Genealogy\, Paternity\, and Love.
DESCRIPTION:“Identity is frail business\, and in her searing story\, Dani Shapiro makes the most disquieting discovery: that everything\, from her lineage\, to her father\, down to her very own sense of self is an astounding error. How do we live with ourselves after finding we are not who we thought we were? The answer is not disquieting. It is beautiful.”–Andre Aciman\, author of Call Me by Your Name \nTo reserve your seat\, purchase a copy of Inheritance by speaking with a bookseller or ordering from our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat makes us who we are? What combination of memory\, history\, biology\, experience\, and that ineffable thing called the soul defines us?\nIn the spring of 2016\, through a genealogy website to which she had whimsically submitted her DNA for analysis\, Shapiro received the stunning news that her father was not her biological father. She woke up one morning and her entire history–the life she had lived–crumbled beneath her. \nInheritance is a book about secrets–secrets within families\, kept out of shame or self-protectiveness; secrets we keep from one another in the name of love. It is the story of a woman’s urgent quest to unlock the story of her own identity\, a story that had been scrupulously hidden from her for more than fifty years\, years she had spent writing brilliantly\, and compulsively\, on themes of identity and family history. It is a book about the extraordinary moment we live in–a moment in which science and technology have outpaced not only medical ethics but also the capacities of the human heart to contend with the consequences of what we discover. \nTimely and unforgettable\, Dani Shapiro’s memoir is a gripping\, gut-wrenching exploration of genealogy\, paternity\, and love. \nDani Shapiro is the author of the memoirs Hourglass\, Still Writing\, Devotion\, and Slow Motion and five novels including Black & White and Family History. Also an essayist and a journalist\, Shapiro’s short fiction\, essays\, and journalistic pieces have appeared in The New Yorker\, Granta\, Tin House\, One Story\, Elle\, Vogue\, O\, The Oprah Magazine\, The New York Times Book Review\, the op-ed pages of the New York Times\, and many other publications. She has taught in the writing programs at Columbia\, NYU\, the New School\, and Wesleyan University; she is cofounder of the Sirenland Writers Conference in Positano\, Italy. She lives with her family in Litchfield County\, Connecticut. \n  \n
