Title: A disturbing, compelling memoir!
Review: Kathryn Harrison's The Kiss is quite an intense memoir. Kathryn Harrison's four-year-old incestuous affair with her father is disturbing and disarming. Despite the fact that she mentions all of the events that lead to her relationship with her father -- her loveless childhood, her struggles with eating disorders and depression -- Harrison does not expect her readers to pity her. Her memoir is honest and compelling. I applaud her ability to share her truths. I'm glad she told her startling story to the world. She is an amazing author -- one of the best authors of this era. I recommend this book to those who like books with unflinching honesty.
