Recenzii
Deborah
Levy
is
a
most
generous
writer.
What
is
wonderful
about
this
short,
sensual,
embattled
memoir
is
that
it
is
not
only
about
the
painful
landmarks
in
her
life
-
the
end
of
a
marriage
,
the
death
of
a
mother
-it
is
about
what
it
is
to
be
alive.
I
can't
think
of
any
other
writer
aside
from
Virginia
Woolf
who
writes
better
about
the
liminal,
the
domestic,
the
non-event,
and
what
it
is
to
be
a
woman...This
is
a
little
book
about
a
big
subject.
It
is
abouthow
to
find
a
new
way
of
living
Extraordinary and beautiful, suffused with wit and razor sharp insights
It is the story of every woman throughout history who has expended her love and labour on making a home that turns out to serve the needs of everyone except herself...A piece of work that isnot so much a memoir as an eloquent manifestofor what Levy calls 'a new way of living' in the post-familial world
Ingenious, practical and dryly amused...This is a manifesto for a risky, radical kind of life, out of your depth but swimming all the same
Wise, subtle and ironic, Levy is a brilliant writer...Each sentence is a small masterpiece of clarity and poise. That shed should be endowed with a blue plaque
A heady, absorbing read
This, from Deborah Levy, is exceptional. A memoir of life, art and separation. How to write when you're broke, have no writing space, are a parent. Also: crushed chickens, electric bikes, plumbing. Out in May and an early contender for one of the books of the year
Both memoir and feminist manifesto, her writing focuses so sharply on what it means to be alive that she's given me much-needed clarity...Levy subtly informs us about what it is to be a woman.
