| The public response to IN SEARCH OF SUSANNA
has been gratifying. I've been invited to do several readings, and I've also
presented a number of community workshops on aspects of writing memoir. If you'd
like to talk with me about either possibility, please e-mail me from my home page. |

The collection, entitled Migrare humanum est, was edited by
Jean-Claude Muller. Here is the citation for the 14 January 2000 online
article by Annik Châtellier-Schon : "La certitude d'un duché catholique vertueux et
superstitieux aux frontières bien gardées risque de s'envoler."

At present I'm working on a sequel to IN
SEARCH OF SUSANNA. This memoir will take readers (and myself) further back into the
past as well as bring readers up into the present. Because I'm teaching full-time
and completing another book right now, I expect that it will take me some
time to
finish this work of life writing. |

"Bunkers discovers that her own experience mothering a daughter outside of marriage
provides the guiding thread through tangled webs of family secrets, village history,
motherhood and daughterhood, legitimacy and illegitimacy. The reader accompanies her
on her quest until the center of a mystery that is as personal as it is familial is
attained: Bunkers' affinity with her nineteenth-century foremother." --Annis Pratt, author of
Dancing with Goddesses and Archetypal
Patterns in Women's Fiction. |
 Suzanne
and Rachel Bunkers, 1996 |
