It asks us to consider fiction as life and life as fiction. Amina Cain is our generous, gentle guide through an exquisite library. A truly beautiful book. -Aysegl SavasI adore her work, and sensibility, writes Claire-Louise Bennett of Amina Cain; and Jenny Offill: Cain writes beautiful precise sentences about what it means to wander through this luminous world. Cains unique wandering sensibility, her attention to the small and the surprising, finds a profound new expression in her first nonfiction book, a sustained meditation on writers and their work. Driven by primary questions of authenticity and freedom in the shadow of ecological and social collapse, Cain moves associatively through a personal canon of authors- including Marguerite Duras, Elena Ferrante, Renee Gladman, and Virginia Woolf- and topics as timely and various as female friendships, zazen meditation, neighborhood coyotes, landscape painting, book titles, and the politics of excess. A Horse at Night: On Writing is an intimate reckoning with the contemporary moment, and a quietly brilliant contribution to the lineage of Woolfs A Room of Ones Own or Gasss On Being Blue, books that are virtuosic arguments for-and beautiful demonstrations of-the essential unity of writing and life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972486070560,"sku":"NEW1948980134","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-horse-at-night-on-writing-1948980134","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
