	Now in paperback. Life falls apart. We try to get a grip. We try to hold it together. And then we realize that we don't want to hold it together . . . ' Writing as brilliantly as ever, Deborah Levy confronts a world not designed to accommodate difficult women and ultimately remakes herself in her own image.
	What does it cost a woman to unsettle old boundaries and collapse social hierarchies that make her a minor character in a world not arranged to her advantage? This vibrant memoir, a portrait of contemporary womanhood in flux, is an urgent quest to find an unwritten major female character who can exist more easily in the world. Levy considers what it means to live with meaning, value, and pleasure, to seize the ultimate freedom of writing our own lives, and reflects on the work of such artists and thinkers as Simone de Beauvoir, James Baldwin, Elena Ferrante, Marguerite Duras, David Lynch, and Emily Dickinson.
