Memories of the Future

Beschreibung

FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WHAT I LOVED<BR><BR>'Few contemporary writers are as satisfying and stimulating to read as Siri Hustvedt' Washington Post<BR><BR>'A 21st-century Virginia Woolf' Literary Review<BR><BR>A provocative, wildly funny, intellectually rigorous and engrossing novel, punctuated by Siri Hustvedt's own illustrations - a tour de force by one of America's most acclaimed and beloved writers.<BR><BR>Fresh from Minnesota and hungry for all New York has to offer, twenty-three-year-old S.H. embarks on a year that proves both exhilarating and frightening - from bruising encounters with men to the increasingly ominous monologues of the woman next door.<BR><BR>Forty years on, those pivotal months come back to vibrant life when S.H. discovers the notebook in which she recorded her adventures alongside drafts of a novel.

Measuring what she remembers against what she wrote, she regards her younger self with curiosity and often amusement. Anger too, for how much has really changed in a world where the female presidential candidate is called an abomination?<BR><BR>'Provocative and mysterious . . . comic and sensual' Daily Mail<BR><BR><BR>PRAISE FOR SIRI HUSTVEDT:<BR><BR>'Hustvedt is that rare artist, a writer of high intelligence, profound sensuality and a less easily definable capacity for which the only word I can find is wisdom' Salman Rushdie<BR><BR>'One of our finest novelists' Oliver Sacks<BR><BR>'Reading a Hustvedt novel is like consuming the best of David Lynch' Financial Times
