Unraveling Solitude: Judy Kronenfeld’s Mesmerizing Journey Through Apartness
Reviewed by Marjorie Maddox
Apartness: A Memoir in Essays and Poems by Judy Kronenfeld, is a cultural, intellectual, historical and, at times, emotional ride through the author’s life in the U.S., France, Ghana, and elsewhere, beginning in the 1940s and continuing through 2017. Despite its title, this collection emphasizes perspective and connections: what draws us together, pushes us apart, or leaves us in the limbo of “between.” With its poetic road markers and satisfying twists and turns, Apartness keeps us looking out this window, then this one, then straight ahead, then directly into the rearview mirror of the past.
