Description
Deborah Levy's Things I Don't Want to Know is a deeply personal and insightful exploration of the writing life, drawing on her own experiences as a young woman. Taking George Orwell's famous essay 'Why I Write' as a starting point, Levy offers a unique and thought-provoking response, shedding light on the challenges and rewards of claiming one's place as a writer. With wit, clarity and calm brilliance, Levy considers the complexities of the writing life, from the need to stake a claim in a contested territory as a young woman to the importance of shaping that territory to one's own needs. This is a work of remarkable psychological depth and insight, offering a profound exploration of the writer's inner world. A fitting companion to her earlier works, The Cost of Living and Real Estate, Things I Don't Want to Know is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the power of writing to shape our lives and our understanding of the world.
