Descriere magazin:
A shimmering jewel of a book about writing from two-time Booker Prize finalist
Deborah Levy, to publish alongside her new work of nonfiction, The Cost of Living . Blending personal history, gender politics, philosophy, and literary theory into a luminescent treatise on writing, love, and loss,
Things I Don\'t
Want to
Know is
Deborah Levy\'s witty response to George Orwell\'s influential essay Why I Write. Orwell identified four reasons he was driven to hammer at his typewriter--political purpose, historical impulse, sheer egoism, and aesthetic enthusiasm--and
Levy\'s newest work riffs on these same commitments from a female writer\'s perspective. As she struggles to balance womanhood, motherhood, and her writing career, Levy identifies some of the real-life experiences that have shaped her novels, including her family\'s emigration from South Africa in the era of apartheid; her teenage years in the UK where she played at being a writer in the company of builders and bus drivers in cheap diners; and her theater-writing days touring Poland in the midst of Eastern Europe\'s economic crisis, where she observed how a soldier tenderly kissed the women in his life goodbye. Spanning continents (Africa and Europe) and decades (we meet the writer at seven, fifteen, and fifty),
Things I Don\'t
Want to
Know brings the reader into a writer\'s heart.
