Recenzii
Julavits's work keeps growing in scope and ambition, asking the biggest questions about love and fear and how best to make life meaningful, and answering with an inspiring level of courage, humour, and stylistic bravado
Sweet, serene, loving, and delightfully macabre
An achingly rendered experience of parenthood
The product of an awe-inspiring mind ... The writing is a miracle of precision and spirit, and Heidi Julavits is as darkly funny as John Cheever
Julavits writes with sparkling insight and stunning clarity
It's a beautiful book, funny, sad, full of acute feeling and astute observations. It seemed to me to be, more than anything, about the colossal significance of seemingly small moments, and the tremendous ripple effects of humdrum decisions
In this self-aware book, issues of politics and gender thread together with the daily ins and outs of family life
Inside these pages is a sanctuary of unwordable grief, exactly because of their proximity to our purpose and joy, our mothering, our try, our children. We have tried our best. Now, to the world they go. Please meet them where we mothers are. This book is the purest expression of this hope I have read - the immense particular incarnate. It's also wicked funny, as the greatest heartbreaks must be for their ebb
Honest, blazing, and generous, Directions to Myself manages to be an essay about everything by focusing intently on the basic human need of giving care to other people. Something as simple as the fact that we teach our friends, children, and partners how to be in the world through the way that we care for them feels totally new in Julavits's elegant and energetic voice. Truly astounding
A touching meditation on time, motherhood, and memory ... Affecting reflections on life's transitions
Praise for Heidi Julavits: Witty, sly, critical, inventive and adventurous . Her prose, like E. B. White's, is especially liquid, and her sentences are unimpeachable
Scathingly funny ... An engaging portrait of a woman's sense of identity, which continually shape-shifts with time
An absolute tour de force
Mesmerising
With astounding intelligence and unceasing acuity, Heidi Julavits fulfills the great promise of her talents, and jumps to the forefront of her generation. This could be the smartest and most challenging book I've read by anyone our age, and beyond that, it's just plain hard to put down
A fascinating quasi-memoir ... The humor and the pathos of the book arise from [the] mismatch between the urgency of a decision in the moment and the awareness that always runs beneath it: that time will eventually make most things not matter
Playful, intimate and deeply insightful . Julavits is someone you truly want to know
Like E. B. White or David Foster Wallace before her, Julavits might be ashamed of her little vanities and obsessions . but that doesn't prevent her from laying them bare without sugar-coating a thing . There's not a single uninteresting anecdote or scrap of flabby prose throughout
An incisive and penetrating thinker, as exacting as she is forgiving in her observations about the self and the world
