Beskrivning
A book decades ahead of its time, And So Did I established a new model for the memoir, one built from moments of intense observation, candid self-reflection, courageous honesty, and irrepressible humor. It opens with the comedy of a man being struck by an automobile and walking away unscathed and cascades through a year's worth of incidents and encounters that reveal Whitaker's resilient spirit and fine-honed understanding of people, their quirks, weaknesses, and charms.

Mer information

Born in Bradford in 1895, Malachi Whitaker grew up among books, the daughter of a bookbinder. She began writing at an early age and by the mid-1930s was recognized as one of the finest short story writers of her time, known as "the Bradford Chekhov." And So Did I, an impressionistic memoir of a year in the late 1930s, was her last published book. For personal and critical reasons, she wrote nothing more for publication from then until her death in 1975. Her short stories have since been reissued by Carcanet and Persephone and included in dozens of anthologies.

Recensioner i media

"It is nothing if not a work of art. The excellence of And So Did I resides in its spontaneity, its distinguished and vivid imaginativeness, its delicious sureness in detail, its intimacy, its atmosphere."
