Krátky popis
'A major achievement.' CLAUDIA RANKINE'Endlessly absorbing.' SINEAD
GLEESON 'A probing tour of capitalism and class.' MAGGIE
NELSON'Exhilarating.' JENNY OFFILLA personal reckoning with the
intricacies of money, class and capitalism from the New York Times
bestselling author. Having just purchased her first home, Eula Biss
embarks on a roguish and risky self-audit of the value system she
has bought into. The result is Having and Being Had: a radical
interrogation of work, leisure and capitalism.Playfully ranging
from IKEA to Beyonce to Pokemon, across bars and laundromats and
universities, she asks, of both herself and her class, 'In what
have we invested? 'As a writer Eula Biss has two great gifts. The
first is her ability to reveal to the reader what has, all along,
been hidden in plain sight . .. Her other talent is for laying bare
our submerged fears . .. In Having and Being Had, both gifts are on
display . .. if you are not deeply discomfited by the time you
finish reading On Having and Being Had, you have no
conscience.'AMINATTA FORNA, GUARDIAN'Calls on the controlled rush
of poetry and turns experience into art.'TIMES LITERARY
SUPPLEMENT'Nuanced . .. Biss' sentences have retained a poet's
precision.'IRISH TIMES'Eula Biss's prescient new book gave me new
language for things I didn't know I felt . .. A brilliant,
lacerating re-examination of our relationship to what we own and
why, and who in turn might own us.'ALEXANDER CHEE'No contemporary
writer I know explores and confronts her own societal
responsibilities better than Eula Biss.'ALEKSANDER HEMON'A
meditation on race, consumerism and the American caste system. And
a wry, vivd assessment of our spiritual moment.It is no accident
that Having and Being Had reads like the poems money would write if
money wrote poems.'JEET THAYIL
