Beschreibung

A dazzling collection of essays by the bestselling author of What I Loved - thought-provoking, engaging, illuminating reflections on what it means to be human

Rezension

Her erudition, the sharp clarity of her thinking, the variety of her sources and the supple ways in which she weaves them into personal narrative, coupled with her fearlessness in the face of those aspects of the human condition which are of necessity ambiguous, infuse her work with a rare kind of quiet intellectual confidence...I'll be returning to these essays. Melanie McGrath, Sunday Telegraph

Klappentext

FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WHAT I LOVED AND A WOMAN LOOKING AT MEN LOOKING AT WOMEN

'Lucid, absorbing and vigorous'
Independent

'Richly intelligent'
Financial Times

In these fascinating essays, Siri Hustvedt shows what lies behind her fiction: an abiding curiosity about who we are and how we got that way. Covering a wide range of subjects, from the nature of desire to false memories and the paintings of Goya, she draws on the insights provided by both the arts and sciences to deepen our understanding of what it means to be human - to live, think and look.

'As an essayist, Hustvedt is the best kind: superbly clear, intellectually challenging but always human'
Independent on Sunday
