Skating To Antarctica - Jenny Diski - Häftad 9781844081516

Looking for Mr. Goodbook: april 2010

A shrewd observer, Diski explores perceptively how and why we travel, and I enjoyed her quiet contemplation of her fellow tourists, most of whom spent so long recording their experiences of icebergs and penguins through a lens that they never seemed to stop and Antarctica is not so much a destination as a symptom in this intense, disturbing memoir of a wickedly unpleasant childhood. Novelist Diski (Monkey's Uncle, 1995 etc.) doesn't like to travel, doesn't like breaks in routine--""indolence has always been my most essential quality""--but an undeniable urge to visit Antarctica swept her along. To start with the positive, Jenny Diski is a superb writer. Perceptive, reflective, gentle, poetic and a great writer about people, places, thoughts, ideas and feelings. And the two books that Skating to Antarctica is composed of are both magnificent and powerful. Jenny Diski, who has died of cancer aged 68, was a writer for whom no subject was taboo. But her memoir Skating to Antarctica (1997) is the most remarkable of her books.
