From the internationally bestselling author of What I Loved and The Summer Without Men, a dazzling collection of essays written with Siri Hustvedt's customary intelligence, wit and ability to convey complex ideas in a clear and lively way. Divided into three sections - Living, which draws on Siri's own life; Thinking, on memory, emotion and the imagination; and Looking, on art and artists - the essays range across the humanities and science as Siri explores how we see, remember, feel and interact with others, what it means to sleep, dream and speak, and what we mean by 'self'. The combination offers a profound and fascinating insight into ourselves as thinking, feeling beings.… (mais)

Siri Hustvedt is van de interessantste schrijvers van het moment. Ik las al een aantal van haar romans, en was telkens behoorlijk onder de indruk. Ze is een heel erudiete, intellectualistische schrijfster, maar helemaal niet blasé, integendeel haar boodschap is meestal hoe weinig zekerheden we in het leven hebben en ook hoe weinig we, zelfs gewapend met de laatste wetenschappelijke inzichten, nog maar weten over wat er echt toe doet. Haar focus lag aanvankelijk op esthetiek en op de complexe verhoudingen tussen mensen, maar doorheen de jaren is ze uitdrukkelijk recente inzichten in de neuropsychologie en biologische wetenschappen gaan verwerken in haar romanwerk. Dat wordt ook weerspiegeld in dit essaybundel. Over het algemeen weet Hustvedt zowel academische als heel persoonlijke aspecten mooi in evenwicht te houden en erg leesbare stukjes af te leveren, waarbij ze voortdurend heen en weer springt tussen diverse disciplines. Maar ik moet zeggen dat de redelijk afstandelijke toon op de duur wat bevreemdend begon te werken. Veel van haar essays kwamen op een of andere manier ook al in haar vroeger prozawerk aan bod, en daar, in een lopend verhaal, kwamen ze duidelijk veel meer tot leven. Slotsom: voor wie het werk van Hustvedt nog niet kende is dit wellicht een aangename, zij het wat droge, kennismaking, voor de Hustvedt-liefhebbers voegt dit werk niet zoveel toe. ( )

For some reason I did not get as much from these essays as from some of her other work. Still, Siri Hustvedt's mind is a brilliant one, her style smooth and her logic both objective and personal.
Quotes:
*responsive presence of another (what we crave for)"..."I have heard you and I'm coming with my answer."
"Don't do anything you don't really want to do,"ma mother said...
"reading is an embodied act"
"For me, a work of art must be an enigma. It must push me into a position of unknowing or else I find myself bored by my own comprehension." ( )

Clever but cold and kind of boring. She makes her point, she reads a lot of books.
"Happy Orthodontics" was the best part. ( )
