From the internationally bestselling author of WHAT I LOVED, a dazzling collection of recent essays written with Siri Hustvedt's customary intelligence and lively wit. 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 essays offer a profound and fascinating insight into what it means to be human.
