Real Estate
Douban
Deborah Levy publishing house: 哈密什·汉密尔顿 2021 - 5
'Three bicycles. Seven ghosts. A crumbling apartment block on the hill. Fame. Tenderness. The statue of Peter Pan. Silk. Melancholy. The banana tree. A Pandemic. A love story.' From one of the great thinkers and writers of our time, comes the highly anticipated final instalment in Deborah Levy's critically acclaimed 'Living Autobiography' 'I can't think of any writer aside from Virginia Woolf who writes better about what it is to be a woman' Observer on The Cost of Living Following the international critical acclaim of The Cost of Living, this final volume of Deborah Levy's 'Living Autobiography' is an exhilarating, thought-provoking and boldly intimate meditation on home and the spectres that haunt it. 'I began to wonder what myself and all unwritten and unseen women would possess in their property portfolios at the end of their lives. Literally, her physical property and possessions, and then everything else she valued, though it might not be valued by society. What might she claim, own, discard and bequeath? Or is she the real estate, owned by patriarchy? In this sense, Real Estate is a tricky business. We rent it and buy it, sell and inherit it - but we must also knock it down.'

读过《Real Estate》 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
这本是在旅居中完成的。思考叙事的主体与语言的关系,人际关系和对其想象如何洇入写作本身;相当一部分篇幅围绕标题思考女性与家的关系。女性“借居”在不属于自己的房子中,依靠填满domestic role“偿还”房租,我们的家在哪里?谁又来决定我们是否属于这里?Living autobiography这个系列都读完了,三本我都很喜欢。
