Things I Don’t Want to Know is a unique response to George Orwell from one of our most vital contemporary writers. Taking Orwell’s famous list of motives for writing as the jumping-off point for a sequence of thrilling reflections on the writing life, this is a perfect companion not just to Orwell’s essay, but also to Levy’s own, essential oeuvre.
‘A vivid, striking account of a writer's life, which feminizes and personalizes Orwell's blunt assertions.’
‘An inspiring work of writing.’
‘Unmissable. Like chancing upon an oasis, you want to drink it slowly… Subtle, unpredictable, surprising.’
‘An up-to-date version of A Room of One's Own . . . I suspect it will be quoted for many years to come.’
‘Levy's strength is her originality of thought and expression.’
‘One of the few contemporary British writers comfortable on a world stage.’
