Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

WINNER OF THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE * For the first time ever, collected here are all three volumes of the diaries of Helen Garner, inviting readers into the world behind the novels and nonfiction of a literary force. "This is one for the introverts -- the wary and the peevish, the uncertain of their looks, taste, talent and class status."--Dwight Garner, New York Times Book Review "Raw, incisive and, as she puts it, 'bareknuckle.'"--Dua Lipa The name Helen Garner commands near-universal acclaim. A master of many literary forms, Garner is best known for her frank, unsparing, and intricate portraits of "ordinary people in difficult times" (New York Times). But the inspiration for it all was her extensive collection of diaries--fastidiously kept, intricately written, and delightfully dishy, unspooling the inner lives of her insular world in bohemian Melbourne. Now, for the first time, all three volumes of Garner's inimitable diaries are collected into one book. Spanning more than two decades, each finely etched volume reveals Garner like never before: a fledgling author publishing her lightning-rod debut novel in the late 70s; in the throes of a consuming affair in the late 80s; and clinging to a disintegrating marriage in the late 90s. And all the while, they bear witness to one of the world's great writers hard at work.  Devastatingly honest and disarmingly funny, How to End a Story is a portrait of loss, betrayal, and the sheer force of a woman's anger--but also of resilience, quotidian moments of joy, the immutable ties of motherhood, and the regenerative power of a room of one's own.
