Here is a great book that invites reading. She is also a passionate reader and therein lies the secret of this book. An impressive collection by a novelist who clearly loves the humanities, the sciences and the ancient art of storytelling. Lara Feigel Financial Times It is obvious that hers is a great mind that is constantly exploring, searching, "becoming". We are fortunate to have Hustvedt voicing doubt so intelligently. as the complicated warnings of experts are decried and swaggering lies broadcast on the news, this kind of uncertainty matters more than ever. She is able to combine personal perspective with erudite analysis and, as the personal perspective is at the forefront, she is always open to uncertainty, which she sees, rightly, as itself a political stance. There is a moving essay on the blurring of gender in Louise Bourgeois and a brilliantly comic analysis of Karl Ove Knausgaard. A writer with an unusual blend of incisive intelligence, humour and imagination.
