Klappentext zu „In Gratitude “
_______________'One of the most inventive, original and disturbing writers of her generation' - Daily Telegraph'Diski does not do linear, or normal, or boring . In Gratitude amounts to the inner monologue of a highly intelligent, furiously funny, traumatised woman' - Helen Davies, Sunday Times'She deserves our unfeigned admiration, not for her bravery or her struggle, or any irrelevant tosh like that, but for writing so well' - Guardian_______________In August 2014, Jenny Diski was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer and given 'two or three years' to live. Being a writer, she decided to write about her experience - and to tell a story she had not yet told: that of being taken in, aged fifteen, by the author Doris Lessing, and the subsequent fifty years of their complex relationship. Splicing childhood memories with present-day realities, Diski paints an unflinching portrait of two extraordinary writers - Lessing and herself.Jenny Diski died a week after the publication of In Gratitude. A cerebral, witty, dazzlingly candid memoir, it is her final masterpiece.

Jenny's pain and fury are still hot in this fascinating but uncomfortable read . Clear-sighted, defiant and written with Diski's customary furious elegance, it is a remarkable last word from a writer who survived to live and love, almost despite herself Jane Shilling, Daily Mail
