Description
Ghosting A Double Life by Jennie Erdal is a remarkable memoir that explores the complexities of identity and creativity. For fifteen years, Erdal led a double existence, working as a personal editor for one man while secretly writing under his name. This moving and beautifully written account moves seamlessly between vivid descriptions of Erdal's austere upbringing and superbly rendered portraits of her colleagues at a London-based publishing house. At the heart of the book is a unique and symbiotic relationship with a larger-than-life figure, whose presence both fascinated and intimidated Erdal. Through her story, Erdal offers profound insights into what it means to be human and to live in language, weaving together rich comedy and quiet introspection.
