From the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and best-selling author of Backlash comes In the Darkroom, an astonishing confrontation with the enigma of her father, and the larger riddle of identity consuming our age. When the feminist writer learned her 76-year-old father - long estranged and living in Hungary - had undergone sex reassignment surgery, that investigation would turn personal and urgent. How was this new parent who identified as "a complete woman now" connected to the silent, explosive, and ultimately violent father she had known?

Fascinating story, performance mixed
Revisado: 05-19-24
Fascinating exploration of her father’s identity—as a parent, a transsexual (her term) woman, and a Holocaust survivor—with each layer of identity problematic.
The exact way in which these layers fit together is (wisely) left to the reader/listener.
The performer’s strength lay in her ability with accents/making each voice distinct. But why so very many mispronunciations? Way too many. Distracting and weird. Also in the earlier more lyrical parts of the book her tone was borderline soppy, conveying none of Faludi’s intellectual heft. So the illusion was broken. But that improved later on. Ultimately it didn’t distract from my experience of the book.
