Recenzii
The unclassifiable writer and translator's collected nonfiction shows us a brilliant mind at work.
the beloved American author reflects on reading and writing in typically funny, incisive and tender style.
Davis does for the essay what one of her subjects-Rimbaud-did for the prose poem: fires language with emotive, radiant wisdom.
masterful, lucid collection . . . no single piece could capture the essence of this extraordinary writer . . . Read these essays: see everything around you in a clear, fresh light
