| book description |

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 traces and measures her life against the backdrop of the literary and artistic muses that have shaped her â€“ including a letter to her dying mother and to an absent friend. This volume illuminates and celebrates a rich and varied intellectual inheritance â€“ and reflects on how it has enriched the authorâ€™s own work. Taking in questions of mortality, language, gender, place, consumerism and everyday living, the acclaimed novelist invites her reader behind the curtain of a creative life, â€˜in which the position of the spoon is always changingâ€™. â€˜Levyâ€™s writing is dreamy but diamond-sharp, prismatic, droll, [and] devastating . . . Each sentence precisely pins down a feelingâ€™ Los Angeles Review of Books â€˜Writing is self-excavation, a painful digging into the archaeology of our own experience. Levy is good on the prices we find ourselves paying: for art, for love, for fitting in . . . [She] plunges into the depths, taking us with herâ€™ Guardian
