'A captivating collection...No matter the topic, Garner is a charming and courageous writer whose distinctive voice exemplifies the range of what is possible in personal writing.'--Publishers Weekly 'Garner brings to the collection not only her tremendous powers of observation but a continued employment of those skills to force readers to confront unpleasant truths. The graceful prose with which she delivers her insights will challenge readers to look at what is happening around them.'--Library Journal (STARRED REVIEW) 'Like strolling around in an idiosyncratic, surprising, and informative museum.'--Kirkus 'Garner is a natural storyteller: her unillusioned eye makes her clarity compulsive.'--New Yorker 'Compulsively readable essays.'--Observer 'Writes with the humor and precision of Joy Williams, the warmth and ferocity of Elena Ferrante, and the investigative rigor of Janet Malcolm.'--John Freeman, LitHub 'A thoughtful dissection of the emotional anatomy of the everyday'.--Financial Times [UK] 'This is Garner in expansive mood writing gracefully about everything from her family to ballet to the dawn service.'--The Spectator
Spanning fifteen years of work, Everywhere I Look is a book full of intuition, insight and humor. It takes us from backstage at the ballet to the trial of a woman for the murder of her newborn baby. It moves effortlessly from the significance of moving house to the pleasure of re-reading Pride and Prejudice.
Helen Garner is the author of numerous books of fiction and nonfiction. Her novel The Spare Room was published to critical acclaim in 2010. Her work of true crime This House of Grief received international praise.
PRAISE FOR This House of Grief'[Garner] doesn't merely listen. She watches, imagines, second-guesses, empathizes, agonizes. Her voice--intimate yet sharp, wry yet urgent--inspires trust.'--Atlantic
'She writes with a profound understanding of human vulnerability, and of the subtle workings of love, memory and remorse.'--Economist
'Helen Garner is an invaluable guide into harrowing territory and offers powerful and unforgettable insights.'--Kate Atkinson
THIS HOUSE OF GRIEF won the Honorable Mention in the INDIEFAB 2015 Book of the Year Awards, True Crime categoryAlso in
