Biography
Harrison was raised in Los Angeles by her maternal grandparents. She descends from the
The bestselling author famously documented a disturbing triangulation that developed involving her young mother, her father and herself in the memoir "The Kiss", which described her father's seduction of the author when she was twenty and their incestuous involvement, which persisted for four years and is reflected in the plots and themes of her first three novels, published before "The Kiss". While much of her body of work documents her tortured relationship with her mother, who died in 1985 -- the essays collected in "Seeking Rapture: Scenes From a Life", a second memoir, "The Mother Knot", as well as "The Kiss" -- she has also written extensively of her maternal grandparents, both in her personal essays and, in fictionalized form, in her novels. Her grandmother, a Sassoon, was raised in Shanghai, where she lived until 1920, her experiences there inspiring Harrison's historical novel, "The Binding Chair." "The Seal Wife," set in Alaska during the First World War, draws on the early life of her British grandfather, who spent his youth trapping fur in the Northwest Territories and laying track into Anchorage for the Alaska Railroad.
Harrison has published six novels, three memoirs, a travelogue, a biography, and, as of June 2008, a book of true crime. She is a frequent reviewer for
