Things I Don't Want to Know by Deborah Levy

Things I Don't Want to Know by Deborah Levy

Levy structures this memoir as a direct response to George Orwell's famous essay Why I Write, examining her own childhood in apartheid-era South Africa, her family's political exile, and the specific conditions that shaped her development as a woman writer navigating a literary world not built with her in mind.

The book is the first in Levy's celebrated living autobiography trilogy, and her spare, image-driven prose treats memory and political history with the same formal precision that characterises her fiction, resisting straightforward chronological narrative in favour of resonant fragments.

The first volume of Deborah Levy's acclaimed living autobiography trilogy.
