The Pilot's House

Mary Lawlor is professor of Literature and American Studies at Muhlenberg College.  Her new book is a memoir about her relationship with her father, a remote iconic figure who flew fighter planes in World War II, the Korean War, South American junkets, and Vietnam.  She was the middle child of four girls, probably overlooked as a middle child, then burst on the scene in 1968 Paris, protesting the very war, Vietnam, her father was fighting in.  He comes from the jungle of southeast Asia to fetch her from the grip of what was in his mind the enemy.  It's a gripping tale on so many levels.  It's expected to be published this fall.   Click here to find out more about Mary Lawlor and her book, The Pilot's House. 

I interviewed Mary last night on WDIY, NPR affiliate station in the Lehigh Valley, and that interview will be posted here as soon as it is available.
