Krátky popis
Deeply personal and powerfully moving, a short and timely series of
essays on the experience of lockdown, by one of the most
clear-sighted and essential writers of our timeFrom the critically
acclaimed author of Feel Free, Swing Time, White Teeth and many
more'There will be many books written about the year 2020:
historical, analytic, political and comprehensive accounts. This is
not any of those. What I've tried to do is organize some of the
feelings and thoughts that events, so far, have provoked in me, in
those scraps of time the year itself has allowed.These are, above
all, personal essays: small by definition, short by necessity.
Early on in the crisis, I picked up Marcus Aurelius and for the
first time in my life read his Meditations not as an academic
exercise, nor in pursuit of pleasure, but with the same attitude I
bring to the instructions for a flat-pack table - I was in need of
practical assistance. I am no more a Stoic now than I was when I
opened that ancient book, but I did come out with two invaluable
intimations.Talking to yourself can be useful. And writing means
being overheard.'Crafted with the sharp intelligence, wit and style
that have won Zadie Smith millions of fans, and suffused with a
profound intimacy and tenderness in response to these unprecedented
times, Intimations is a vital work of art, a gesture of connection
and an act of love - an essential book in extraordinary times.
