Daily Candy, the 10 Nonfiction Reads of the New Year Margaux Fragoso's memoir, a subtly crafted account of her 15-year involvement as a child and adolescent with a middle-aged man, asks urgent questions about the traffic between memory and art. -- Boyd Tonkin, Ones To Watch In 2011 The Independent An Observer Cultural Highlight of 2011 The Observer
