Local DescriptionMatilda Bookshop Review In this second volume of diaries, we see the bones of extraordinary writing, and an extraordinary writer, laid bare. The diary charts a near decade of immense creative output from Garner and it also sees her in the throes of a vertiginous love affair with another celebrated author. Garner turns her clear-eyed attention to friendship, dreams, loving, the creative process, all while struggling for a room of one's own in an all-consuming relationship. I devoured this. Not a sentence out of place. Molly DescriptionHelen Garner's second volume of diaries charts a tumultuous stage in her life. Beginning in 1987, as she embarks on an affair that she knows will be all-consuming, and ending in 1995 with the publication of The First Stone and the bombshell that followed it, Garner reveals the inner life of a woman in love and a great writer at work. With devastating honesty, she grapples with what it means for her sense of self to be so entwined with another--how to survive as an artist in a partnership that is both thrilling and uncompromising. And through it all we see the elevating, and grounding, power of work. Promotion info
