Signed by author on title page in her uniquely beautiful calligraphic hand. In KINSEY AND ME Sue Grafton has given us stories that reveal Kinsey's origins and Sue's past. KINSEY AND M has two parts: The nine Kinsey stories 1986-93 each a gem of detection; and the And Me stories written in the decade after Grafton's mother died. Together they show just how much of Kinsey is a distillation of her creator's past even as they reveal a child who free of parental interventions read everything and roamed everywhere. But the dark side of such freedom was that very parental distance. The same feisty voice and witty apercus readers fell in love with in A Is for Alibi permeate the Kinsey stories. Those in the And Me section trace a remarkable voyage from anger to understanding from pain to forgiveness. They take us into a troubled family dysfunctional as most families are each in their own way but Grafton's telling is sensitive delicate and ultimately loving. Enriching the way we see Kinsey and know Sue these stories are deeply affecting.
