In these remarkable essays, Anderson's bright curiosity lures readers towards philosopher's metaphors, through horse's stables, and into children's backpacks; she draws insights equally from the threads of plots and the sinews of joints. Shadow Work may begin with loneliness, but it offers up the best kind of company: visceral and cerebral, unrepentantly bookish, most importantly: honest and warm., Shadow Work makes legible the invisible labor--and love--of reading, writing, parenting. Anderson beautifully captures the companionship and solace provided by books. Her own book does the same, offering insight, connection, and deeply felt humanity., How does reading about others become a bridge we use to cross back and forth between a lost dead self and the shaky promise of a new? In Shadow Work , Anderson sits down with her favorite authors--Zadie Smith, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Lewis Carroll, Shakespeare, Percival Everett--to discuss how they provide an invisible structure that supports creative work. Through a rigorous excavation of the power of the book, Anderson brings herself--and her readers--back to life., In these remarkable essays, Anderson's bright curiosity lures readers toward philosophers' metaphors, through horses' stables, and into children's backpacks; she draws insights equally from the threads of plots and the sinews of joints. Shadow Work may begin with loneliness, but it offers up the best kind of company: visceral and cerebral, unrepentantly bookish, and, most importantly, honest and warm., Shadow Work makes legible the invisible labor--and love--of reading, writing, and parenting. Anderson beautifully captures the companionship and solace provided by books. Her own book does the same, offering insight, connection, and deeply felt humanity., Emily Hodgson Anderson is a mother of young sons, an eighteenth-century British literature scholar, a long-distance runner, an accomplished equestrian, and a reader of raunchy British romance novels. She believes in the ability of the human mind--and its great metaphor, language--to lend "access to that illusory and intoxicating kind of 'knowing' not otherwise possible in real life." Each brilliant essay contained herein celebrates the shadowy geographies of reading where we grope about and find one another, though find one another we do indeed. Machines, as powerful as they may be, can't tease out a human soul. Shadow Work shows us how, on this "darkling plain," to seek any other human creature's heart and mind.

Synopsis
How is it that reading and writing can at once isolate us and bring us closer to others? Blending personal narrative with literary criticism, Emily Hodgson Anderson considers what a life spent with books has taught her about loneliness and human connection. She delves into the unseen labor of women, authors, and mothers, and she argues that we can reimagine intimacy through books. Herself a book lover and writer, a teacher of literature, and a single mom, Anderson reflects on the loneliness--and the strength--that can come from living, writing, and parenting alone. Shadow Work puts writers such as Jane Austen, Mary Shelley, Laurence Sterne, and Shakespeare into unexpected conversations with authors of children's literature and contemporary fiction, among them Roald Dahl, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Zadie Smith, and Lewis Carroll. Elegantly and poignantly written, this book examines what it means to revisit longtime literary companions and how literature can help us better understand what we show and hide about ourselves., Blending personal narrative with literary criticism, Emily Hodgson Anderson considers what a life spent with books has taught her about loneliness and human connection., How is it that reading and writing can at once isolate us and bring us closer to others?

- e***_ (17)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaSeller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.
- 0***i (5)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaThe first item arrived with some damage to the inside back cover, but the seller responded immediately, assuring me they’d provide a replacement, and even told me I could keep the original. They were upfront about a short delay, and gave a clear estimated ship date, and followed up right on time once it shipped. The replacement arrived in perfect condition and exactly as described. I really appreciated their transparency and professionalism. Would definitely buy from them again!
