Descriere magazin:
The first essay collection from one of the most acclaimed writers of our time.\'This trenchant, unrepentant collection reminds you that she\'s a brilliant writer… Order a copy in case she\'s cancelled by Christmas\' THE TIMES (Book of the Year)\'You may disagree with Lionel Shriver\'s bracing journalism, but her right to spark disquiet goes to the heart of the freedom of expression issue\' Rachel Cooke, OBSERVER\'Mutinous essays about modern politics and culture… An independent mind and a sense of humour are dangerous things to possess. The spiky, politically incorrect novelist Lionel Shriver has them in abundance\' THE TIMES\'Testament to the fierce intelligence of a writer who wants us to think more, probe more, challenge more - and who also makes it fun\' THE SUNDAY TIMESNovelist, cultural observer and social satirist Lionel Shriver is among the sharpest talents of our age. A writer who embraces \'under-expressed, unpopular or downright dangerous\' points of view, she regularly deplores the conformity of thought and attitude that has overtaken society.Bringing together thirty-five works curated from her many columns, features, essays and op-eds for the likes of the Spectator and Guardian, speeches and reviews, and some unpublished pieces, Abominations reveals Shriver at her most iconoclastic and personal. Relentlessly sceptical, cutting and contrarian but also frequently moving and vulnerable, this collection showcases her piquant opinions on a wide range of topics, including religion, politics, illness, mortality, family and friends, tennis, gender, immigration, consumerism, health care and taxes.Though some of the more divisive essays in Abominations have \'brought hell and damnation down on my head,\' as she cheerfully explains, she also offers insights on her novels and explores the perks and pitfalls of becoming a successful artist. Readers will find plenty to challenge them here, but they may also find many nuanced and considered insights with which they agree.
