Description
Erica Jong discusses her book, “Inventing Memory: A Novel of Mothers and Daughters.” Jong tells the stories of four generations of Jewish women in America. Sarah, the matriarch, is born in Russia and comes to the United States and works as a portrait painter. Jong shares that she comes from a family of artists and almost became one herself. Sarah’s daughter, Salome, moves to Paris and writes, and Salome’s daughter, Sally, becomes a folksinger. And in the present day, Sally’s daughter, Sara, ends up researching family histories at the Council on Jewish History in New York. Martinson and Jong go on to discuss Yiddish proverbs and attacks on powerful women.
