Krátky popis
From the twice-Man Booker Prize-shortlisted author of Hot Milk and
Swimming Home :Dazzling, essential, entirely unlike anything else
-- a memoir on modern womanhood, rejecting oppressive social
expectations and turning instead towards a thrilling,
transformative freedomWhat does it mean to be free - as an artist,
a woman, a mother or daughter? And what is the price of that
freedom?In this dazzling memoir, Deborah Levy confronts the
essential questions of modern womanhood with humour, pragmatism,
and profoundly resonant wisdom. Reflecting on the period when she
wrote the Man Booker Prize-shortlisted Hot Milk - when her mother
was dying, her daughters were leaving home, her marriage was coming
to an end - she is characteristically eloquent on the social
expectations and surreal realities of daily life. And expanding far
beyond these bounds, she describes a uniquely frank, wise and
thrilling manifesto for female experience: embracing the
exhilarating terror of freedom, seeking to understand what that
freedom could mean and how it might feel.
