An Oprah Daily and Town &amp; Country Best Book of the SummerMolly Jong-Fast is the only child of writer Erica Jong, whose book Fear of Flying launched her into second-wave feminist stardom. When, in 2023, Erica was diagnosed with dementia just as Molly's husband discovered he had cancer, Jong-Fast was catapulted into a transformative year. How to Lose Your Mother is a memoir about an intense mother–daughter relationship, a sometimes chaotic upbringing with a fame-hungry parent, and the upheavals that challenge our hard-won adulthood. A pitch-perfect balance of acceptance and rage, humor and heart, it tells a universal story of loss alongside a singular story of a literary life.

[Jong-Fast’s] honesty, her self-awareness, and her grief keep you on her side, as well as her humor, understated, blunt, and sometimes black. . . . The best book Jong-Fast could have written about the worst year of her life.

Resisting tidy sentiment or easy answers, Jong-Fast dives headfirst into the often-difficult ambiguities of parent-child bonds. The results are stunning.
