First instalment of Levy’s essential ‘living autobiography’ trilogy – reissued to match the beautiful COST OF LIVING hardback
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 and shape it to her need. It is a work of dazzling insight and deep psychological succour, from one of our most vital contemporary writers.
This first volume of the trilogy focuses on the writer as a young woman – the confusion and turbulence of youth, and the uncertainties of carving an identity as a writer. The second volume, The Cost of Living, speaks to the challenges of middle age as a writer and a woman – motherhood, separation, bereavement.
