A Plea For Eros: Essays on art, love and desire from 'a 21st-century Virginia Woolf' - Literary Review
Autor Siri Hustvedten Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 feb 2006
'A luminous collection of mind-expanding pieces on literary and philosophical themes'
Observer
'Thoughtful and sensuous'
Daily Telegraph
This illuminating collection brings together Siri Hustvedt's earliest essays, exploring the themes that have preoccupied her writing throughout her career: memory and imagination, psychology and art, love and desire. Drawing on her personal experience - as daughter, sister, mother and wife; student, teacher, reader and writer - she illustrates fundamental aspects of our lives.
Wise, honest and fiercely intelligent, this is a book that invites us to look afresh at ourselves and the world we inhabit.
'One of the most talented voices in contemporary fiction . . . Hustvedt brings the same visual power, sensuality and intelligence to her collection of essays'

Recenzii
'She strides across these pages: a 6ft tall Amazonian New Yorker...by whom we are at once riveted and faintly disconcerted...Hustvedt is a lucid writer, whose spare, elegant prose wears lightly its eclectic reference points.'
'Thoughtful, sensuous essays...her enthusiasms are oddly infectious'
'A luminous collection of mind-expanding pieces on literary and philosophical themes...A book to renew one's faith in the literary essay'
'An intellectual, emotional and elegantly written collection that leaves the reader with plenty to ponder...Her passion for language and literature makes the prose leap from the page...Hustvedt is, quite simply, an extraordinary literary talent. Read it, ponder it, then go read it again.'
