Contagiously curious essays on reading, art, and the life of the mind, from the acclaimed author of The Unreality of Memory.
Who are we when we read? When we journal? Are we more ourselves alone or with friends? Right now or in memory? How does time transform us and the art we love? In sixteen dazzling, expansive essays, the acclaimed essayist and poet Elisa Gabbert explores a life lived alongside books of all kinds: dog-eared and destroyed, cherished and discarded, classic and cliched, familiar and profoundly new. She turns her witty, searching mind to the writers she admires, from Plath to Proust, and the themes that bind them--chance, freedom, envy, ambition, nostalgia, and happiness. She takes us to the strange edges of art and culture, from hair metal to surf movies to party fiction. Any Person Is the Only Self is a love letter to literature and to life, inviting us to think alongside one of our most thrilling and versatile critics.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Fsg OriginalsISBN-13:9780374605896ISBN-10:374605890UPC:9780374605896Book Category:Literary Collections, Literary CriticismBook Subcategory:Essays, Subjects & Themes, Books & ReadingSize:8.26 x 5.55 x 0.65 inchesWeight:0.4696Product ID:SCTVWEZ8TP
