A Magpie and an Envelope

Více o knize

"A contemplative and lyrical memoir of early childhood, inheritance and loss. Carol Mavor blends encounters with the works of Piero della Francesca and Brueghel, Goya and Mann, alongside a synesthetic immersion in pre-linguistic memory. It is a scholarly and intimate look at grief and reparation, imagination and forgiveness, told by one of the most interesting and genre-defying essayists."--back cover
