'Perhaps when Orwell described sheer egoism as a necessary quality for a writer, he was not thinking about the sheer egoism of a female writer. Even the most arrogant female writer has to work over time to build an ego that is robust enough to get her through January, never mind all the way to December.' Deborah Levy

Å gi den fire stjerner handler mer om hva jeg er i stand til å forstå og ikke, og mindre om bokens egne kvaliteter. Dette er en glitrende short read som på overflaten er en vakker memoar om oppvekst i motstand i Sør-Afrika og England, men som egentlig handler om det som er under huden. Sinne skrevet ut i vakker melankoli. Hvorfor har ikke Morgenbladet skrevet om Deborah Levy?
Men ask “why do I write?”; women ask “how?”
Men are afforded the luxury of being able to start from a place of anger; women are at war with their lot
