Peel me a Book
Deborah Levy
“The suburb of femininity is not a good place to live.”
The Cost of Living
Things I Don't Want to Know
Peel the Author
A British novelist, playwright and memoirist, born in South Africa, Deborah Levy writes with wit, sensuality and a quietly subversive intelligence. Her work explores the invisible arrangements that shape women's lives — marriage, motherhood, money, desire and the struggle to claim a room, a voice, a life of one's own.
Her prose moves between autobiography and philosophical inquiry, finding political meaning in domestic details.
Voice
“To become a writer, I had to learn to interrupt, to speak up, to speak a little louder, and then louder, and then to just speak in my own voice which is not loud at all.”
Levy understands that finding a voice is not necessarily about becoming louder. Sometimes it means refusing to disappear into the roles others have written for you.
