Golden Hour is a book about the relationships between oral history, psychoanalysis, and family history-keeping. Part essay, part transcript, part exhibition catalog, and part photo album, the book offers interdisciplinary reflections on an oral history project about my grandmother’s paintings as a way into broader questions about listening, attunement, and narrativization in the oral history interview and the psychoanalytic session. Golden Hour is intended to be experienced in person, and can be found in the OHMA Thesis Library. If you are unable to access it there and would like to read a digital copy, please email sagellano@gmail.com.
