Product details

The first part of Deborah Levy's essential three-part life autobiography about writing and being a woman.

Indispensable. Like discovering an oasis, you want to savor it slowly. Subtle, unpredictable, surprising. - Guardian

Drawing from George Orwell's famous essay Why I Write, Deborah Levy offers her own indispensable reflections on the life of a writer. With wit, clarity, and quiet brilliance, she examines how a female writer must assert herself in this contested terrain as a young woman and shape it according to her needs.

Things I Don't Want to Know is a work of radiant insight and deep psychological comfort, from one of our most vital contemporary writers.

The last two parts of Deborah Levy's life autobiography, The Cost of Living and Real Estate, are now available.

Outstanding sharpness and originality of imagination. An inspiring work of writing. - Marina Warner

An exciting writer, sharp and shocking like the knives wielded by her characters. - Sunday Times

A writer whose anger and confusion about the world transform into poetic fantasies that always seem wonderfully right. - Independent.
