Things I Don't Want to Know
Autor Deborah Levyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 apr 2018
Things I Don't Want to Know is the first in Deborah Levy's essential three-part 'Living Autobiography' on writing and womanhood.
Taking George Orwell's famous essay, 'Why I Write', as a jumping-off point, Deborah Levy offers her own indispensable reflections of the writing life. With wit, clarity and calm brilliance, she considers how the writer must stake claim to that contested territory as a young woman and shape it to her need. Things I Don't Want to Know is a work of dazzling insight and deep psychological succour, from one of our most vital contemporary writers.
'Superb sharpness and originality of imagination. An inspiring work of writing' Marina Warner

Recenzii
An up-to-date version of 'A Room of One's Own' . . . I suspect it will be quoted for many years to come
Superb sharpness and originality of imagination. It is feminist and political while being an inspiring work of writing . . . She writes on the high wire, unfalteringly
Levy's strength is her originality of thought and expression
An exciting writer, sharp and shocking as the knives her characters wield
One of the few contemporary British writers comfortable on a world stage
A writer whose anger and confusion in the face of the world transform into poetic flights of fancy . . . which always feel marvellously right

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'Perhaps when Orwell described sheer egoism as a necessary quality for a writer, he was not thinking about the sheer egoism of a female writer. Even the most arrogant female writer has to work over time to build an ego that is robust enough to get her through January, never mind all the way to December.' Deborah Levy
