Robin Silbergleid – författare

At twenty-seven, Robin Silbergleid decided to become a single mother by choice; The Baby Book depicts her long struggle to build her family through assisted reproductive technology. It is a bold, multi-voiced narrative of reproductive choice, including infertility treatment, recurrent miscarriage, and high-risk pregnancy. The Baby Book will be of interest to readers of poetry, women, people interested in reproductive rights, fertility patients and their doctors, and women who have experienced pregnancy loss.

Queer Mother Memoir: Experiments in Life/Narrative curates an archive of memoirs, published 1997 to the present, in order to define and complicate “queer mother memoir” as an emergent literary genre. Through careful readings of life narratives, including her own, Silbergleid offers these radical autotheoretical texts as a challenge to scholarship that has yet to critically examine, much less embrace, queer motherhood.

This collection of essays offers twelve innovative approaches to contemporary literary criticism. The contributors, women scholars who range from undergraduate students to contingent faculty to endowed chairs, stage a critical dialogue that raises vital questions about the aims and forms of criticism— its discourses and politics, as well as the personal, institutional, and economic conditions of its production. Offering compelling feminist and queer readings of avant-garde twentieth- and twenty-first-century texts, the essays included here are playful, performative, and theoretically savvy.Written for students, scholars, and professors in literature and creative writing, Reading and Writing Experimental Texts provides examples for doing literary scholarship in innovative ways. These provocative readings invite conversation and community, reminding us that if the stakes of critical innovation are high, so are the pleasures.
