Local DescriptionStaff Notes: Like chatting to someone wonderful at a dinner party. She's crisp and deeply introspective in her writing, and her title essay was the discussion around priviledge and higher education I had been yearning for. - Recommended by Sarah DescriptionBlueberries could be described as a collection of essays, the closest term available for a book that resists classification; a blend of personal essay, polemic, prose poetry, true-crime journalism and confession that considers a fragmented life, reflecting on what it means to be a woman, a body, an artist. It is both a memoir and an interrogation of memoir. It is a new horizon in storytelling. In crystalline prose, Savage explores the essential questions of the examined life: what is it to desire? What is it to accommodate oneself to the world? And at what cost? Awards2021 Stella Prize Longlist Shortlisted for the VIC Premier’s Award for Non-Fiction 2021 |
