Just slightly over a month ago, in February, I had a great opportunity to read an advanced reading copy of Kate Mulgrew's new memoir Born With Teeth. To say that I was impressed by it is to say nothing. I was completely floored. I admit that I had expected it to be well-written, having heard Kate speak on multiple occasions at various events. And, being a fan, I could guess at some of the themes she would be certainly discussing in the book. What I did not anticipate was just how powerfully and beautifully her eloquence and intelligence translated into the written word. This is an excellent and worthy read even if you do not have emotional or intellectual attachment to her or to the characters she played. Truly, a gem!
Very aptly titled Born With Teeth is an intensely honest and intelligent memoir written by an extraordinary and yet very human individual. Within its pages, Kate Mulgrew provides an exceptionally personal glimpse into some the crucial events of her fascinating and complicated life. This book will fill you with admiration for Ms. Mulgrew's strength, passion and tremendous courage.
The memoir will be released on April 14th, followed by a tour of author events. I am really looking forward to attending the events in New York and Philadelphia.
