Recenzii
“This book: No holds barred. That’s how I describe Double Indemnities. These conversations thrum with white hot honesty, keen self-awareness, such lightness and levity—it’s astounding to imagine one book can hold such brilliance. These writers speak from near-naked experience, rooted so vividly in place and time. It is pure delight to be privy to these conversations so effusive with love, admiration, and wide-ranging intelligence.”—Nicole Walker, author of How to Plant a Billion Trees
“David Lazar—ever one of our most erudite and inventive essayists—here turns to the epistolary as if to a long-awaited instrument, composing a trio of intimate exchanges with Piper Daniels, Joanne Eleftheriou, and Heather Frise, each an artist in her own sphere. What moves through these pages are the currents of conversation itself: voices meeting, diverging, returning, surprising one another. All three revel in the unruly pleasures of the singular voice and the quiet astonishments that arise when attention is tender and respect is freely given. Here freedom feels palpable—the freedom to wander from the trivial to the luminous, from play to gravity, from the offhand remark to the unguarded revelation of self. What emerges is a generosity of spirit that I receive with real gratitude.”—Marcia Aldrich, author of Studio of the Voice
“Ah, the joys of eavesdropping! I embraced this chance to put my ear to the wall: a book of letters exchanged between David Lazar—writer, editor, and all-around wit—and a wonderful trifecta of correspondents. There’s deep, jazzy riffing between Lazar and writer Piper Daniels, followed by a cerebral and bracing ‘inter-review,’ tracing the moves that happen between life and books, with writer Joanna Eleftheriou. Finally, we get David’s rapid-fire, surreal jousting with writer and artist Heather Frise. Lazar writes in the introduction, ‘I, and my correspondents, hope we come through, through to a place where the reader is able to participate in our process.’ I found myself happily interjecting myself into these pages—talking back—again and again. A funny, profound look at the inner lives of the creative and the thoughtful, and a glimpse at the workings of some enviable artists and friendships.”—Susanne Paola Antonetta, author of The Devil’s Castle
