Why? ![]() ![]() Hustvedt generously introduces the heavyweights – Picasso, Beckmann, de Koonig, Louise Bourgeois, Jeff Koons, Karl Ove Knausgård, among the artiest of others – and her vivid, unaffected impressions of their work are set in handy historical context alongside. The first part of the book contemplates art in its many forms and perception in its many biases. This isn’t a book built for the pursuit of winter hygge, but it’s a cozy home for some of Hustvedt’s best work. Hustvedt’s work has been lauded enough to earn her a dose of condescension, but there’s not a touch of it here – big ups from the plebe with a measly liberal arts degree and cursory understanding of the human condition. ![]() Article contentĬlever and engaging, any sense of inadequacy I felt reading it was self-assigned. ![]() This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. ![]() Manage Print Subscription / Tax Receipt. ![]() ![]() ![]() His plan fails in every possible sense: the company still goes under (with Richard making a point of giving it a final push, before taking what's left and absorbing it into his own business empire), and both his daughters suffer years of psychological, physical and sexual abuse at the hands of Richard and his sister. ![]() ![]() Arranged Marriage: Iris's father arranges her marriage to Richard in the hopes that it will save the family company and ensure a better future for at least one of his daughters.In particular, Iris details her relationship with her younger sister, Laura - who committed suicide in 1945, aged twenty-five, by driving a car off a bridge - and the publicity surrounding Laura's posthumously published novel, The Blind Assassin.

I would also like to thank the ‘Politibrits’ of for reawakening my interest in British politics and giving me feedback on the first draft of this project. I would like to thank Sea Lion Press for giving me the opportunity to publish this work, and in particular Tom Black for popularising the format which I have used: a chronological list of Prime Ministers, different and yet familiar, together with summaries of their premierships and written over a short space of time. ![]() |
