À propos de cet audio
Things I Don't Want to Know is the first in Deborah Levy's essential three-part "living autobiography" on writing and womanhood.
Taking George Orwell's famous essay, "Why I Write", as a jumping-off point, Deborah Levy offers her own indispensable reflections of the writing life. With wit, clarity and calm brilliance, she considers how the writer must stake claim to that contested territory as a young woman and shape it to her need. Things I Don't Want to Know is a work of dazzling insight and deep psychological succour, from one of our most vital contemporary writers.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“[A] contemplation of what it means to be a contemporary woman. . . . Levy’s books are slim, but no less wondrous; she packs astounding insight and clarity into every passage.”
—The Globe and Mail
"A lively, vivid account of how the most innocent details of a writer's personal story can gain power in fiction."
—The New York Times Book Review
"Profound."
—Los Angeles Times
"A vivid, striking account of a writer's life."
—The Spectator
"Powerful."
—New Statesman
“Like chancing upon an oasis, you want to drink it slowly. . . . [It has a ] subtle, unpredictable, surprising atmosphere. . . . Original, dreamy, unmissable.”
—The Guardian
"An up-to-date version of 'A Room of One’s Own', and, like the Virginia Woolf essay, I suspect it will be quoted for many years to come."
—Irish Examiner
"Levy successfully weaves historical, political, and personal threads together to form a nuanced account of her life and why she writes. Her graceful memoir/essay emphasizes a woman’s need to speak out even if she has to use a quiet voice. For feminists and memoir enthusiasts."
—Library Journal
"Rather than, say, telling the reader to show rather than tell, [Levy] declines to tell us anything and then shows us a great deal. What results is much more valuable than any literal writing guide or any literal response to Orwell would have been. It certainly has greater political import."
—Biographile
"Few essayists have the courage and talent to go head-to-head with George Orwell. Deborah Levy's response to Orwell's iconic piece "Why I Write" is at once a feminist call to arms, a touching memoir of small moments, and a guide to writing fiction from one of literature's bravest rulebreakers."
—Barnes & Noble Review
"Levy's strength is her originality of thought and expression."
—Jeanette Winterson
"Superb sharpness and originality of imagination. An inspiring work of writing."
—Marina Warner
