Overview
RECOMENDADO POR JENNA BUSH EN SU CLUB DE LECTURA DEL TODAY SHOW Y EN SU PODCAST READ WITH JENNA
Breves ensayos que hablan de literatura y consiguen atar el oficio de escribir al oficio de vivir.
Los escritores, tanto los hombres como las mujeres, han de ser egoístas para tener tiempo de escribir, pero las mujeres no están entrenadas para ser egoístas... comenta Margaret Atwood en estas páginas, y si ella lo dice debe de ser cierto, porque la autora lleva más de treinta años dedicada a la escritura, y las piezas reunidas en La maldición de Eva son una buena muestra de lo que se cuece en su mente cuando se enfrenta a la página en blanco.
Empezando el primero de estos textos, que aborda el rol de la mujer como escritora, como lectora y como protagonista de una novela, pasando por las reflexiones de Atwood acerca del trabajo de Virginia Woolf y de George Orwell, y acabando con la magnífica «Carta a América», que la autora escribió a raíz de la invasión de Irak, estos breves ensayos hablan de literatura, pero consiguen atar el oficio de escribir al oficio de vivir. Solo así se explica que tengamos entre manos un libro vital, cargado de anécdotas, donde el sentido común y el humor de esta gran mujer tienen tanto valor como su talento de narradora.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
• READ WITH JENNA BOOK CLUB PICK AS FEATURED ON TODAY • RECOMMENDED ON THE 'READ WITH JENNA' PODCAST•
From one of the world's most passionately engaged and acclaimed literary citizens comes Writing with Intent, the largest collection to date of Margaret Atwood's nonfiction, ranging from 1983 to 2005.
Composed of autobiographical essays, cultural commentary, book reviews, and introductory pieces to great works of literature, this is the award-winning author's first book-length nonfiction publication in twenty years. Arranged chronologically, these writings display the development of Atwood's worldview as the world around her changes. Included are the Booker Prize–winning author's reviews of books by John Updike, Italo Calvino, Toni Morrison, and others, as well as essays in which she remembers herself reading Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse at age nineteen, and discusses the influence of George Orwell's 1984 on the writing of The Handmaid's Tale. Atwood's New York Times Book Review piece that helped make Orhan Pamuk's Snow a bestseller can be found here, as well as a look back on a family trip to Afghanistan just before the Soviet invasion, and her "Letter to America," written after September 11, 2001. The insightful and memorable pieces in this book serve as a testament to Atwood's career, reminding readers why she is one of the most esteemed writers of our time.
