Redstone Diary 2024

The Redstone Diary for 2024 delves into the topic of family. Family is an evergreen subject for artists, writers, singers, therapists, and psychoanalysts, and perhaps the most enigmatic part of our everyday lives. The bonds of family cannot be escaped, and they are explored in a collection of texts selected by Julian Barnes, from writers such as Willa Cather, Marcel Proust, Virginia Woolf, and Philip Roth. Also included are disturbing imagery of fatherhood from Paula Rego, Frida Kahlo’s reimagining of her genealogy, as well as John Lennon’s heartfelt lyrics to his absent mother.
