About this listen

"Three bicycles. Seven ghosts. A crumbling apartment block on the hill. Fame. Tenderness. The statue of Peter Pan. Silk. Melancholy. The banana tree. A love story."

Virginia Woolf wrote that in order to be a writer, a woman needs a room of one's own. Now, in Real Estate, acclaimed author Deborah Levy concludes her groundbreaking trilogy of living autobiographies with an exhilarating, boldly intimate meditation on home and the specters that haunt it.

In this vibrant memoir, Levy employs her characteristic indelible writing, sharp wit, and acute insights to craft a searing examination of womanhood and ownership. Her inventory of possessions, real and imagined, pushes listeners to question our cultural understanding of belonging and belongings and to consider the value of a woman's intellectual and personal life.

Blending personal history, gender politics, philosophy, and literary theory, Real Estate is a brilliant, engaging narrative.

Ruined by poor production

I bought and listened to the other two books in this trilogy, but the production values (echoes, stray sounds) on this recording were just too poor to continue. Add that to the over-the-top Englishness of the actor, I just gave up.

DISAPPOINTED


Well written. Often poetic,
But overall, one is left empty. Disappointed. Uncaring. It lacks a soul.
