Mara Wilson writes memoir and essays about childhood acting, anxiety, identity and the strange expectations attached to former child stars. Where Am I Now? follows her early film career, including Matilda and Mrs. Doubtfire, but gives equal space to grief, school, theatre, obsessive-compulsive disorder and the decision to step away from Hollywood. The book is organised as personal essays rather than a chronological celebrity history, allowing individual experiences to stand on their own. Wilson's prose is dry, reflective and often funny without romanticising childhood fame. Her work fits actor memoir, mental-health autobiography, essays on growing up and behind-the-scenes writing about the entertainment industry. Read more Less
