Reading: Things I don’t Want to Know, Deborah Levy

Why did you want to read this? I’ve been a bit fan-girly about Deborah Levy since I first read this - slowly reading my way through all her books ‘cos I knew I’d be sad when I’d finished them. There is something about her writing that makes me feel like I’m being sucker punched at intervals -- the observation is just so RIGHT, argh, you got me -- totally poised, yet also casual and funny as though it just fell out that way. I’ve been waiting for the last instalment of this trilogy to come out, and decided to re-read the first two books while I wait.

How did you record yourself? In bed on Sunday morning with my zoom recorder.
