1 Belonging : Memories and Meanderings in Middle Europe Roberta Esbitt , 2020 single work autobiography
— Appears in: Griffith Review , no. 69 2020; (p. 233-237)
'We're all part of a family, and often more than one. Even without Lids. I turn up on several family trees, albeit as a cryptic and peripheral mention. But what bare bones family trees show: only dry lineage, not the hot pressure of relations. Those thin black lines connecting partners and progeny give nothing away. Better to map circles of influence, radiating colours and casting shadows, with bold connections that pulsate with anger and laughter, and spidery traces that hint at longing and regret carried across generations.'
