Krátky popis
Moments of clarity are rare and fleeting, how can we become
comfortable outside of them, in the more general condition of
uncertainty within which we make our lives? Written by critic Emily
Ogden while her children were small, On Not Knowing forays into
this rich, ambivalent space. Each of her sharply observed essays
invites the reader to think with her about questions she can't set
aside: not knowing how to give birth, to listen, to hold it
together, to love. Unapologetically capacious in her range of
reference and idiosyncratic in the canon she draws on, Ogden moves
nimbly among the registers of experience, from the operation of a
breast pump to the art of herding cattle, from one-night stands to
the stories of Edgar Allan Poe.Committed to the accumulation of
knowledge, Ogden nonetheless finds that knowingness for her can be
a way of getting stuck, a way of not really living. Rather than the
defensiveness of wilful ignorance, On Not Knowing celebrates the
defencelessness of not knowing yet - which, Ogden suggests, may be
a form of love.
