Περιγραφή για Kant's Little Prussian Head and Other Reasons Why I Write: An Autobiography Through Essays Claire Messud Fleet 0831

\'An uplifting work: complex, precise and bracing\' Susie Boyt, Financial Times\'A profound book about the intrication of literature and life, about the modest, miraculous ways art helps us to live\' Garth GreenwellIn twenty-nine intimate, brilliant and funny essays, Claire Messud reflects on a childhood move from her Connecticut home to Australia; the complex relationship between her modern Canadian mother and a fiercely single French Catholic aunt; and a trip to Beirut, where her pied-noir father had once lived, while he was dying. She meditates on contemporary classics from Kazuo Ishiguro, Teju Cole, Rachel Cusk and Valeria Luiselli; examines three facets of Albert Camus and The Stranger; and tours her favorite paintings at Boston\'s Museum of Fine Arts. Crafting a vivid portrait of a life in celebration of the power of literature, Messud proves once again \'an absolute master storyteller\' (Rebecca Carroll, Los Angeles Times).\'I can think of few writers capable of such thrilling seriousness expressed with so lavish a gift\' Rachel Cusk, Evening Standard Σελίδες: 336, Έτος Έκδοσης: 0831, Διαστάσεις: 12.6x12.6cm
