About Welcome Home by Lucia Berlin
Lucia Berlin’s Welcome Home brings together more than twenty autobiographical sketches she was working on before her death, along with selected photographs and letters. The sketches begin in Alaska in 1936 and end, prematurely, in southern Mexico in 1966.
Berlin’s son Jeff Berlin supplements the manuscript with photographs and letters from friends and lovers. The material ranges across places including Argentina, Kentucky, Mexico, New York City, and Chile, offering readers a personal account of the settings and people in Berlin’s life.
