Description
Amina Cain's first nonfiction book is a sustained meditation on writers and their works, as well as the spaces of reading and writing fiction. She explores how these spaces take shape inside a life, driven by questions of authenticity and freedom in the face of ecological and social collapse.
Through essays that move associatively through her personal canon of authors and various topics, Cain delves into themes such as female friendships, zazen meditation, neighborhood wildlife, landscape painting, book titles, and the politics of excess. The result is an intimate reckoning with the contemporary moment.
A Horse at Night: On Writing offers a quietly brilliant contribution to the lineage of influential books on writing and life, including works by Virginia Woolf and William H. Gass. This thought-provoking book is a beautiful demonstration of the essential unity of writing and life.
