The second volume of Levy’s ‘living autobiography’: she has left her marriage, moved into a flat above a pharmacy, and is trying to work out what a life on her own terms looks like. It is funny, precise, and quietly radical. Levy writes about freedom the way other writers write about love — as something that costs you everything and is still worth it.
At under 150 pages, it is a book you can read in an afternoon and think about for months. The prose is aphoristic without being smug — every sentence has been weighed. Read Things I Don’t Want to Know first if you haven’t, but this is the one that stays with you.
