Culture Connection: “Everything/Nothing/Someone” with Memoirist Alice Carrière
Join us for this Mental Health Awareness Month conversation with memoirist Alice Carrière, filmmaker Muffie Meyer, and artist Heidi Gelover.
In “Everything/Nothing/Someone,” Alice tells the story of her upbringing with a remote mother, the artist Jennifer Bartlett, and a charismatic father, European actor Mathieu Carrière. Her childhood was a mixture of privilege, neglect, loneliness, and danger—a child living in an adult’s world, with little-to-no enforcement of boundaries or supervision.
As she enters adolescence and adulthood, a dissociative disorder erases Alice’s identity and doctors medicate her further away from herself. Eventually, she finds purpose in caring for her mother, as she descends into dementia; in a love affair with a recovering addict who steadies her; in confronting her father, whose words and actions splintered her; and in finding her voice as a writer.
