German, Vivian Gornick, 2022Free shipping starting at 50.–
The grande dame of American essay writing recommends: Let books into your life - and read them over and over again! For the award-winning journalist Vivian Gornick, books are companions for life. In nine essays that oscillate between sharp literary criticism and personal memories, she reflects on the significance of reading - and re-reading. Why do books speak to us so differently at various stages of life? And what do these reading experiences reveal about us? Gornick writes about the memory in Marguerite Duras' "The Lover," discovers the psychological intricacies of Elizabeth Bowen's prose, and shares how Natalia Ginzburg continually inspires her to "love life more." Enlightening, deeply personal texts about the vibrancy of books in the reflection of one's own life experiences from one of the brightest thinkers of our time. Nominated for the PEN Award. "Wonderful!" The Paris Review.
