Renee Macalino Rutledge: Powell's Q&A: Renee Macalino Rutledge, author of 'One Hundred Percent Me' (0 comment)
Could you describe your latest book, One Hundred Percent Me?
A little girl is used to hearing questions about her looks all the time. "Where are you from?" "What are you?" These questions are a constant reminder from others that she is different. As she embraces her identity and culture, she teaches others that she belongs, that the differences they notice are part of what make her unique, special, and herself....

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis

Stories of the human enterprise--the lonely playing out of our uniqueness, the hopeful and futile efforts to liberate ourselves from our selves, and the joys, sorrows, and crises of growing up and growing old.

A new edition of Bette Howland's superb final book--a collection of three exquisite stories of rare grace, indelible force, and enduring value.

Synopsis

From the acclaimed author of Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage and the memoir W-3, a trio of novellas about three women's bold exploration of the desire for belonging as it comes into conflict with the fulfillment of our individual selves. With an introduction by Rumaan Alam.


Over the past several years, A Public Space has brought the work of Bette Howland back into print. First published in 1983, Things to Come and Go is her final book, and a showcase of her stunning talent--the razor-sharp observations, the elusive narrators, the language at once experimental and classical.


Nearly forty years later, it's writing that "feel s] revelatory and imperative to the work we might all be trying to make next" (Lynn Steger Strong).
