From twice Booker-shortlisted author Deborah Levy a moving and revelatory collection exploring the muses that have shaped her life and work as a writer 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 draws upon Levy's life in exalting ways encapsulating the wonderful precision and astonishing depth of her writing as she seamlessly shifts between and meditates on questions of mortality language suburbia gender consumerism and the poetics of every day living. From the child born in South Africa to her teenage years in Britain to her travels across the world as a young woman 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.
