Praise for Suzanne's Home Life
Fox has organized her memories around a witty and beguiling conceit... While some memoirs reek of self-involvement, this one invites the reader in: to her parents’ suburban home in New Jersey; to an artistic-ally shabby pensione in Paris; to a friend’s sun-drenched California guest room where there was, almost literally, a monster hidden. Good writing sometimes comes cheap, but here the writing is lapidary without being overly precious. Welcome and thoughtful as a night-light in a dark entrance hall.
—Booklist"A spare homage to the mystery and vitality of interior spaces that has all the intimacy of a memoir and all of the inventiveness of an armchair travelogue.
—ElleLinked yet self-sustaining thematic chapters (Kitchen, Playroom, Sickroom') invite us in, and Fox's sure sense of pacing draws us easily through her life's passage-ways and resting places... Though unsentimental, her memoir serves in part as an elegy to long-gone rooms of the past and the human struggles heating them.
—Kirkus Reviews
