Description

Qu quiere decir ser libre como mujer o como artista?
Y cul es el precio de esta libertad?

El coste de vivires la segunda parte de la poderosa &autobiografa en construccin de Deborah Levy.

Deborah Levy empieza a escribir este libro cuando, con cincuenta aos, se ve forzada a reinventarse: su matrimonio ha terminado, sus ingresos escasean, su madre se est muriendo y sus hijas empiezan a abandonar el nido. En un momento en que la vida tendra que volverse plcida e imperturbable, Levy decide abrazar el caos y la inestabilidad a cambio de recuperar, oculto bajo capas y capas de resignacin, un nombre propio.

A travs de un dilogo con intelectuales como Marguerite Duras o Simone de Beauvoir, y mediante recuerdos que evoca con elocuencia, sensibilidad y un delicioso sentido del humor, Levy se pregunta cul es ese papel ficticio escrito por hombres e interpretado por mujeres al que llamamos &feminidad. Cualquiera que haya luchado por ser libre y por construir una vida propia sabe que es precisamente eso: una lucha constante en la que se paga un coste por vivir.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The bestselling modern manifesto on the politics of womanhood from Deborah Levy, author of the Booker Prize finalistsHot MilkandSwimming Home.

ANew York TimesNotable Book

A New York Public Library Best Nonfiction Book of 2018

What does it cost a woman to unsettle old boundaries and collapse the social hierarchies that make her a minor character in a world not arranged to her advantage?

This vibrant memoir, a portrait of contemporary womanhood in flux, is an urgent quest to find an unwritten major female character who can exist more easily in the world. Levy considers what it means to live with meaning, value, and pleasure, to seize the ultimate freedom of writing our own lives, and reflects on the work of such artists and thinkers as Simone de Beauvoir, James Baldwin, Elena Ferrante, Marguerite Duras, David Lynch, and Emily Dickinson.

The Cost ofLiving, longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal in Nonfiction, is crucial testimony, as distinctive, witty, complex, and original as Levy's acclaimed novels.
