Περιγραφή για Autobibliography Rob Doyle Swift Press

‘Charmingly provocative’ Observer ‘A smorgasbord of delights’ Irish Times \'Addictive\' The Spectator In my case, reading has always served a dual purpose. In a positive sense, it offers sustenance, enlightenment, the bliss of fascination. In a negative sense, it is a means of withdrawal, of inhabiting a reality quarantined from one that often comes across as painful, alarming or downright distasteful. In the former sense, reading is like food; in the latter, it is like drugs or alcohol. In Autobibliography, Rob Doyle recounts a year spent rereading fifty-two books – from the Dhammapada and Marcus Aurelius, via The Tibetan Book of the Dead and La Rochefoucauld, to Robert Bolaño and Svetlana Alexievich – as well as the memories they trigger and the reverberations they create. It is a record of a year in reading, and of a lifetime of books. Provocative, intelligent and funny, it is a brilliant introduction to a personal canon by one of the most original and exciting writers around. It is a book about books, a book about reading, and a book about a writer. It is an autobibliography. Reader Reviews \'Enlightening, engaging and fun\' \'A *superb* gift for any bookish friend or relative with an eye for the human comedy\' \'A page-turner ... bright and fresh\' Σελίδες: 256, Διαστάσεις: 12.9x12.9cm
