The Position of Spoons : And Other Intimacies
by Deborah Levy
Tags:
Female author
Description:
In The Position of Spoons, Deborah Levy invites the reader into the interiors of her world, sharing her most intimate thoughts and experiences, as she traces and measures her life against the backdrop of the literary and artistic muses that have shaped her. From Marguerite Duras to Colette and Ballard, and from Lee Miller to Francesca Woodman and Paula Rego, we can relish here the richness of their work and, in turn the richness of the author's own. Each page is a beautiful, tender composition of the questioning self- a portrait of Deborah Levy's writing life and intellectual vitality in all of its dimensions.

A collection of short pieces, some profound, some whimsical and surreal. Often referencing the artists or writers that have influenced her, so my reading was frequently interrupted as I looked up the unfamiliar names.
