Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The first essay collection from one of the most acclaimed writers of our time.This trenchant, unrepentant collection reminds you that shes a brilliant writer Order a copy in case shes cancelled by Christmas THE TIMES (Book of the Year) You may disagree with Lionel Shrivers bracing journalism, but her right to spark disquiet goes to the heart of the freedom of expression issue Rachel Cooke, OBSERVERMutinous essays about modern politics and culture An independent mind and a sense of humour are dangerous things to possess. The spiky, politically incorrect novelist Lionel Shriver has them in abundance THE TIMESTestament to the fierce intelligence of a writer who wants us to think more, probe more, challenge more and who also makes it fun THE SUNDAY TIMESNovelist, cultural observer and social satirist Lionel Shriver is among the sharpest talents of our age. A writer who embraces under-expressed, unpopular or downright dangerous points of view, she regularly deplores the conformity of thought and attitude that has overtaken society.Bringing together thirty-five works curated from her many columns, features, essays and op-eds for the likes of the Spectator and Guardian, speeches and reviews, and some unpublished pieces, Abominations reveals Shriver at her most iconoclastic and personal. Relentlessly sceptical, cutting and contrarian but also frequently moving and vulnerable, this collection showcases her piquant opinions on a wide range of topics, including religion, politics, illness, mortality, family and friends, tennis, gender, immigration, consumerism, health care and taxes.Though some of the more divisive essays in Abominations have brought hell and damnation down on my head, as she cheerfully explains, she also offers insights on her novels and explores the perks and pitfalls of becoming a successful artist. Readers will find plenty to challenge them here, but they may also find many nuanced and considered insights with which they agree.Abominations was a Times Book of the Year in the Literature category on 26.11.2022 The first essay collection from one of the most acclaimed writers of our time.This trenchant, unrepentant collection reminds you that shes a brilliant writer Order a copy in case shes cancelled by Christmas THE TIMES (Book of the Year) Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
