Hardback. Zustand: Good. 'A tonic for the soul . I was so absorbed by her writing it was unreal' Emilia Clarke?Nothing about Jenny Diski is conventional. Diski does not do linear, or normal, or boring . highly intelligent, furiously funny? Sunday Times?She expanded notions about what nonfiction, as an art form, could do and could be? New YorkerJenny Diski was a fearless writer, for whom no subject was too difficult, even her own cancer diagnosis. Her columns in the London Review of Books ? selected here by her editor and friend Mary-Kay Wilmers, on subjects as various as death, motherhood, sexual politics and the joys of solitude ? have been described as ?virtuoso performances?, and ?small masterpieces?.From Highgate Cemetery to the interior of a psychiatric hospital, from Tottenham Court Road to the icebergs of Antarctica, Why Didn?t You Just Do What You Were Told? is a collective interrogation of the universal experience from a very particular psyche: original, opinionated ? and mordantly funny.
