Description
Jenny Diski's memoir In Gratitude is a deeply personal and unflinching portrait of her life as a writer. Diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer, Diski chose to write about her experience, weaving together childhood memories with present-day realities. This cerebral and witty book paints a complex picture of two extraordinary writers - Diski herself and the renowned author Doris Lessing. Diski's writing is both candid and dazzlingly insightful, offering a unique perspective on the life and work of these two literary giants. With remarkable candour, she shares her relationship with Lessing, who took her in at 15, and explores the intricate web of their bond over the next 50 years. In Gratitude is Diski's final masterpiece, published just weeks before her death. This memoir is a testament to her bravery and skill as a writer, and offers a profound exploration of life, literature, and the human experience.
