Opis
Opis
'The best memoir you will read all year' - NICK HORNBY
'A triumph – a meditation on writing, suicide, guilt and silence' - GUARDIAN
'A grief memoir in the vein of Joan Didion's Blue Nights' - NEW YORK TIMES
'This is memoir perfection … I adored it' - CARIAD LLOYD
'Brilliant … it broke my heart in the best of ways' - SHARLENE TEO
The internationally bestselling author of Women Talking and All My Puny Sorrows, Miriam Toews, returns with a singular memoir celebrating disobedient memory, wit, writing and life.
'Why do you write?' - the organiser of a literary event in Mexico City asks Miriam Toews. Each attempted answer from Toews – all of them unsatisfactory to the organiser – surfaces new layers of grief, guilt and futility connected to her sister's suicide. She has been keeping up, she realises, a decades-old internal correspondence, filling a silence she barely understands. And we, her readers, come to see that the question is as impossible to answer as deciding whether to live life as a comedy or a tragedy.
A Truce That Is Not Peace is the first time Toews has written about her own life in nonfiction. Wildly inventive yet masterfully controlled; wrenching and joyful – this is Miriam Toews at her dazzling best, remaking her world and inventing an astonishing new literary form to contain it.
'[Toews] does not shy away from her own vulnerability, and writes with both candour and humour' - Observer
'Toews knows exactly how to extract hilarity from horrifying events' - The Times
'Nothing short of a masterpiece' - San Francisco Chronicle
'Tragi-comic, and incredibly moving … essential reading for turbulent times' - Laura van den Berg, author of The Third Hotel
'An affirmation of Life in all its richness and variety … remarkable' - Celia Paul, author of Self-Portrait
I would have read another thousand chapters' - Catherine Newman, author of Sandwich
