Kirsten Levy

Kirsten Levy (Questrom’93) of Newton, Mass., published Alzheimer’s Fantasy in the Key of G (TouchPoint Press, 2022), a memoir about her mother, Fran. “Told in a very different way from the traditional health memoir, with multiple points of view—mine, hers, mine imagining hers, and the narrator’s—all intertwined, all necessary, for nonverbal Fran could not tell it herself,” writes Kirsten, who calls the memoir “a creative narrative tale where fantasy and personal witness speak up for the patient.”
