Zibby interviews writer, former professor, and repeat MDHTTRB guest Priscilla Gilman about The Critic\\u2019s Daughter: A Memoir, an exquisite and wrenching portrait of her unique relationship with her father, the esteemed, brilliant, but deeply troubled theater critic and Yale drama professor Richard Gilman, and the deep wound that her parents\\u2019 divorce left her with. Priscilla talks about her father\\u2019s depression (which competed with his utterly magical, devoted, childlike side), and how becoming the designated caretaker at age 10 forced her to soldier on through dissapointment, trauma, and loss for years. She also talks about the incredible emotional toll of remembering her childhood and putting it all on paper.
