It asks us to consider fiction as life and life as fiction. Amina Cain is our generous, gentle guide through an exquisite library. A truly beautiful book.\" --Ayşegül Savaş\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"I adore her work, and sensibility,\" writes Claire-Louise Bennett of Amina Cain; and Jenny Offill: \"Cain writes beautiful precise sentences about what it means to wander through this luminous world.\" Cain's unique wandering sensibility, her attention to the small and the surprising, finds a profound new expression in her first nonfiction book, a sustained meditation on writers and their work. Driven by primary questions of authenticity and freedom in the shadow of ecological and social collapse, Cain moves associatively through a personal canon of authors-- including Marguerite Duras, Elena Ferrante, Renee Gladman, and Virginia Woolf-- and topics as timely and various as female friendships, zazen meditation, neighborhood coyotes, landscape painting, book titles, and the politics of excess. \u003ci\u003eA Horse at Night: On Writing\u003c\/i\u003e is an intimate reckoning with the contemporary moment, and a quietly brilliant contribution to the lineage of Woolf's\u003ci\u003e A Room of One's Own\u003c\/i\u003e or Gass's \u003ci\u003eOn Being Blue\u003c\/i\u003e, books that are virtuosic arguments for--and beautiful demonstrations of--the essential unity of writing and life.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Dorothy, a publishing project","offers":[{"title":"Horse at Night: On Writing | Amina Cain | Paperback | 9781948980135 | New | Essays 1471072","offer_id":50566040486146,"sku":"1471072","price":36.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81qazYFkNTL.jpg?v=1790777374","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/horse-at-night-on-writing","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
