    'Unmissable. Like chancing upon an oasis, you want to drink it slowly... Subtle, unpredictable, surprising' GuardianThings I Don't Want to Know is the first in Deborah Levy's essential three-part 'Living Autobiography' on writing and womanhood.Taking George Orwell's famous essay, 'Why I Write', as a jumping-off point, Deborah Levy offers her own indispensable reflections of the writing life. With wit, clarity and calm brilliance, she considers how the writer must stake claim to that contested territory as a young woman and shape it to her need. Things I Don't Want to Know is a work of dazzling insight and deep psychological succour, from one of our most vital contemporary writers.'Superb sharpness and originality of imagination. An inspiring work of writing' Marina Warner

    Genrebrydende erindringstrilogi om at skrive og finde sin plads i verden. Deborah Levy befinder sig i en livskrise. Hun er begyndt at græde, hver gang hun står på en rulletrappe og beslutter sig for at rejse til Mallorca for at komme lidt væk. Fra den vinterkolde ferieø tænker hun tilbage på sit liv. På barndommen i Sydafrika under apartheid, hvor hendes far bliver fængslet for sin støtte til ANC. På ungdomslivet i England, hvor forfatterdrømmen begynder at spire. Og på hvordan man som kvinde er nødt til at finde sin stemme, tale højt og kræve sin plads i verden. TING JEG IKKE VIL VIDE er et feministisk modsvar til George Orwells berømte essay WHY I WRITE fra 1946 og er første del af Deborah Levys prisbelønnede erindringstrilogi, hvor hun med udgangspunkt i sin egen historie og sit liv i 40’erne, 50’erne og 60’erne reflekterer indsigtsfuldt og levende over fortid og nutid, kvinderoller, familie, politik, litteratur, kærlighed og venskab. Trilogien blev et internationalt fænomen, rost for sin elegante, genrebrydende stil og kaldt for en moderne coming-of-middle-age. Selv kalder hun den for ’A Living Autobiography’, en ’levende selvbiografi’, skrevet mens livet raser omkring hende og ikke i eftertankens klare lys.

    Prisbelønnet trilogi om at skrive og om at finde sin plads i verden. I andet bind af sit anmelderroste erindringsværk undersøger Deborah Levy, hvad det vil sige at være fri – som kunstner, som kvinde, mor og datter. Levy er nu i 50’erne, og hendes liv er i opbrud. Ægteskabet er gået i stykker, moren er ved at dø, og døtrene er på vej ud i verden. Selv leder Levy desperat efter et sted at skrive og finder det til sidst – i et redskabsskur under et æbletræ i en venindes have. Med ubesværet elegance bevæger Deborah Levy sig mellem fortid og nutid, mellem små hverdagssituationer og skarpe litterære iagttagelser, og resultatet er et sprudlende portræt af en skrivende kvindes liv, fuld af vid, dybde og menneskelig indsigt. Trilogien blev et internationalt fænomen, rost for sin elegante, genrebrydende stil, også af danske anmeldere, og er blevet kaldt for en moderne coming-of-middle-age. Selv kalder Levy den for en ’levende selvbiografi’, skrevet mens livet raser omkring hende og ikke i eftertankens klare lys. Deborah Levy (f. 1959 i Sydafrika) er prisbelønnet forfatter, digter og dramatiker. Hun romandebuterede i 1989 og har siden udgivet en lang række romaner, novellesamlinger, digtsamlinger og skuespil. Hun har to gange været shortlistet til den prestigefulde Bookerpris for sine romaner Swimming Home (2013) og Hot Milk (2016). Hun har modtaget flere priser for sin trilogi, bl.a. den fornemme Prix Femina.

    Tredje bind af Deborah Levys enestående og prisbelønnede erindringsværk. Deborah Levy nærmer sig tres, børnene er fløjet fra reden, og skilsmissen ligger bag hende. Hun bruger sin nyvundne frihed til at forlade sin faldefærdige lejlighed i London og rejse ud i verden. Til New York for at rydde sin afdøde stedmors lejlighed, til litteraturfestival i Mumbai, på skriveophold i Paris og rejser til Berlin og Grækenland. Imens drømmer hun om sit næste hjem - et prægtigt gammelt hus med svungne trapper, hvælvede lofter og et granatæbletræ i have - og funderer skarpt og fuld af humor over alle de forestillinger, vi knytter til ideen om et hjem, over vores forståelse af ejendom og besiddelser, og vores måde at opgøre værdien af en kvindes intellektuelle og personlige liv. Trilogien blev et internationalt fænomen, rost for sin elegante, genrebrydende stil og kaldt for en moderne coming-of-middle-age. Selv kalder Levy den for en ’levende selvbiografi’, skrevet mens livet raser omkring hende og ikke i eftertankens klare lys.

    Ny roman fra Deborah Levy – et blændende portræt af melankoli og metamorfose og en virtuos fortælling om en kvinde der er nødt til at forsvinde for at kunne fortælle sin egen historie. På højden af sin karriere forlader koncertpianisten Elsa M. Anderson scenen midt under en koncert i Wien. Tre uger senere sidder hun i Athen og betragter en ung kvinde i færd med at købe et par mekaniske, dansende heste. Kvinden ligner i uhyggelig grad hende selv, er nærmest hendes dobbeltgænger. Elsa følger efter kvinden, men mister hende af syne og driver i stedet ned til færgehavnen. Da hun rejser videre gennem Europa, på flugt fra sin historie og sit talent, er det med skyggen af den mystiske kvinde som følgesvend. »Levy’s forfatterskab vækker en hengivenhed som kun få forfattere opnår.« Guardian

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.

    "Simon Moretti is known for his enigmatic exhibition works, presenting displays that engage with questions of agency, temporality, automatism, desire and masculinity. Incorporating appropriated images and archives as well as curatorial and publishing projects, often made in collaboration with other artists, his work addresses the role of 'curating as practice'. Presented as a non-chronological visual essay, this publication surveys 10 years of collage works by Moretti. It includes text contributions from writer Craig Burnett, curator and art historian Yuval Etgar, novelists Deborah Levy and Chloe Aridjis, and a conversation with Andrew Durbin, editor-in-chief of frieze magazine."--

    In this brilliant, inventive, tragic farce, Deborah Levy creates the ultimate dysfunctional kids, Billy and his sister Girl. Apparently abandoned years ago by their parents, they now live alone somewhere in England. Girl spends much of her time trying to find their mother, going to strangers' doors and addressing whatever Prozac woman who answers as "Mom." Billy spends his time fantasizing a future in which he will be famous, perhaps in the United States as a movie star, or as a psychiatrist, or as a doctor to blondes with breast enlargements, or as the author of "Billy England's Book of Pain." Together they both support and torture each other, barely able to remember their pasts but intent on forging a future that will bring them happiness and reunite them with the ever-elusive Mom. Billy and Girl are every boy and girl reeling from the pain of their childhoods, forgetting what they need to forget, inventing worlds they think will be better, but usually just prolonging nightmares as they begin to create--or so it seems--alternative personalities that will allow them to survive and conquer and punish. In the end, the reader is as bewildered as Billy and Girl--have they found Mom and a semblance of family, or are, they completely out of control and ready to explode?

    Beautiful Mutants, Deborah Levy's feverish allegory of a first novel, introduces a manipulative and magical Russian exile who summons forth a series of grotesques--among them the Poet, the Banker, and the Anorexic Anarchist. Levy explores the anxieties that pervaded the 1980s: exile and emigration, broken dreams, crazed greed and the first seeds of the global financial crisis, self-destructive desires, and the disintegration of culture. In Swallowing Geography, J. K., like her namesake Jack Kerouac, is always on the road, traveling Europe with her typewriter in a pillowcase. She wanders, meeting friends and strangers, battling her raging mother, and taking in the world through her uniquely irreverent, ironic perspective. Levy blends fairytale with biting satire, pushing at the edges of reality and marveling at where the world collapses in on itself. In The Unloved, a group of hedonistic tourists--from Algeria, England, Poland, Germany, Italy, France, and America--gathers to celebrate the holidays in a remote French château. Then a woman is brutally murdered, and the sad, eerie child Tatiana declares she knows who did it. The subsequent inquiry into the death, however, proves to be more of an investigation into the nature of identity, love, insatiable rage, and sadistic desire.

    The relationship between sleep and storytelling is an ancient one. For centuries, sleep has provided writers with a magical ingredient a passage of time during which great changes miraculously occur, an Orpheus-like voyage through the subconscious daubed with the fantastic. But over the last ten years, our scientific understanding of sleep has been revolutionised. No longer is sleep viewed as a time of simple rest and recuperation. Instead, it is proving to be an intensely dynamic period of brain activity: a vital stage in the re-wiring of memories, the learning of new skills, and the processing of problems and emotions. How will storytelling respond to this new and emerging science of sleep? Here, 14 authors have been invited to work with key scientists to explore various aspects of sleep research: from the possibilities of sleep engineering and overnight therapies , to future-tech ways of harnessing sleep s problem-solving powers, to the challenges posed by our increasingly 24-hour lifestyles. Just as new hypotheses are being put forward, old hunches are also being confirmed (there s now a scientific basis for the time-worn advice to sleep on a problem ). As these responses show, sleep and the spinning of stories are still very much entwined. This project was supported by the Wellcome Trust.
