Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. An immensely readable volume. On every page, Swift emerges as a considerable essayist, who upholds the sterling virtue of good writing combined with emotional and intellectual engagement Evening Standard As a novelist, Graham Swift delights in the possibilities of the human voice, imagining his way into the minds and hearts of an extraordinary range of characters. In Making an Elephant, his first ever work of non-fiction, the voice is his own. Swift brings together a richly varied selection of essays, portraits, poetry, and reflections on his life in writing, full of insights into his passions and motivations, and wise about the friends, family, and other writers who have mattered to him over the years. Kazuo Ishiguro advises on how to choose a guitar, Salman Rushdie arrives for Christmas under guard, and Ted Hughes shares the secrets of a Devon river. There are private moments, too, with long-dead writers, as well as musings on history and memory that readers of Swifts novels will recognize and love. A rewarding collection, with the same humanity and flair for detail that distinguishes Swifts fictionTLS Revealing, self-deprecating, full of fascinating details. Edward Marriott, Observer Swifts essays display the same quiet intensity as his fiction, a capacity for subtle storytelling with dark emotional undercurrents Financial Times. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Making an Elephant: Writing from Within
Seller: Emily Green Books, North Shields, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. From the acclaimed Booker Prizewinning author of Last Orders, this highly personal book is a singular and open-spirited account of a writers life. In Making an Elephant, Swift brings together richly varied essays, portraits, poetry and interviews, full of insights into his passions and motivations, and wise about the friends, family and other writers who have mattered to him over the years. Kazuo Ishiguro advises on how to choose a guitar, Salman Rushdie arrives for Christmas under guard, and Ted Hughes shares the secrets of a Devon river. There are private moments, too, with long-dead writers, as well as musings on history and memory that readers of Swifts novels will recognize and love. Making an Elephant is a book of encounters: between a son and his father, between an author and his younger selves, between writer and reader, and between friends. It brims with charm and candour, and reveals Swifts alertness to experience and his true engagement with words.
