Am I Alone Here?: Notes on Living to Read and Reading to Live

Meer over het boek

Exploring the act of writing in diverse settings, Orner reflects on his experiences and the influence of various literary figures. His meditative prose intertwines personal memoir with the legacies of writers like Babel and Hurston, who faced oppression, and Kafka, who navigated loneliness. The narrative also touches on Walser's life in an asylum and Rulfo's mastery of silence. This blend of introspection and literary homage creates a unique tapestry of thoughts on creativity, isolation, and the power of storytelling.
