Mind invigorating essays on life love and thought - By: Heejung Chung, 11 Jul 2007
If you like Siri Hustvedt's style of writing, the way she uses her knowledge on art, psycho analysis, philosophy etc in her writing, you will like her essays where she expresses these thoughts not through her characters but through her own voice.
For many it may sound a bit snobbish, too high brow, too New York-superior? etc..however the more you read you will get into her flow her life.
It is because first of alll, her writing is beautiful, the way she uses chooses her words is so precise, & that in itself makes one reallly appreciate her writing. Also the way she elaborates the events in her life, you end up empathizing with her...
She has the talent to use words to tell you a free flowing story which constantly stimulate & provoke new thoughts as well as emotions.
