Description: Opacities : On Writing and the Writing Life, Paperback by Samatar, Sofia, ISBN 1593767668, ISBN-13 9781593767662, Brand New, Free shipping in the US "In a series of compressed, dynamic prose pieces, Samatar blends letters from her friend with notes on literature, turning to âEdouard Glissant to study the necessary opacity of identity, to Theresa Hak Kyung Cha for a model of literary kinship, and to avariety of others, including Clarice Lispector, Maurice Blanchot, and Rainer Maria Rilke, for insights on the experience and practice of writing. In so doing, Samatar addresses a number of questions about the writing life: Why does publishing feel like the opposite of writing? How can a Black woman navigate interviews and writing conferences without being reduced to a symbol? Are writers located in their biographies or in their texts? And above all, how can the next book be written?"--
