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. A Horse at Night: On Writing is an intimate reckoning with the contemporary moment, and a quietly brilliant contribution to the lineage of Woolf's A Room of One's Own or William H. Gass's On Being Blue, books that are virtuosic arguments for-and beautiful demonstrations of-the essential unity of writing and life"-- $c Provided by publisher 505 00 $a Machine generated contents note: $t While thinking and writing about novels. $t I drove to the little shop when it was getting dark -- $t For years now, whenever I read a short story -- $t I recently read, and loved, Annie Ernaux's -- $t In The Lost Daughter, when Leda goes alone -- $t Sometimes a tide comes easily -- $t When I was a teenager in Ohio, I dreamed -- $t Coming back from near sleep, a painting -- $t When I began looking at paintings of nighttime -- $t This autumn I've been reading the diaries -- $t In the last year I've become fixated on -- $t Not long ago, when I re-read Gladman's Ana Patova -- $t As I write this, my cat Trout whines loudly -- $t In The Frozen Thames, Helen Humphreys writes -- $t Finished NDiaye's All My Friends -- $t In The Ravishing of Lol Stein, a friend -- $t Write into the winter, and the summer -- $t On my laptop are Jpgs of paintings of women reading -- $t I don't believe in perfection -- $t Coming back recendy to zazen meditation -- $t I am reading an early novel by Rachel Cusk -- $t While thinking and writing about novels. 600 10 $a Cain, Amina. 650 0 $a Novelists, American $y 21st century $v Biography. 600 10 $a Cain, Amina $x Books and reading. 650 0 $a Fiction $x Psychological aspects. $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Art appreciation. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Cain, Amina. $t Horse at night. $d St. Louis, MO : Dorothy, a publishing project, [2022] $z 9781948980142 $w (DLC) 2022013860 830 0 $a Dorothy, a publishing project (Series) 941 $a 2 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230502010522.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230302014958.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C977FE9AA39211ED924352D529ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
