{"product_id":"a-horse-at-night-amina-cain-9781914198373","title":"A Horse at Night","description":"\u003cp\u003eEssayistic inquiries come together into a sustained meditation on writers and their works, on the spaces of reading and writing fiction, and how these spaces take shape inside a life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn A Horse at Night, Amina Cain contemplates how to be honest, open and free, as a person and a writer, even (and perhaps especially) during a time of great change. She moves elegantly through a personal canon of authors - including Marguerite Duras, Elena Ferrante and Annie Ernaux - and topics as timely and various as female friendships, neighbourhood coyotes, landscape painting and the politics of excess, to profound and joyous effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn individual reckoning with the contemporary moment and a quietly brilliant contribution to the lineage of Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own or William H. Gass's On Being Blue, A Horse at Night is a virtuosic argument for - and beautiful demonstration of - the essential unity of writing and life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Stunning; unbelievably subtle, precise, \u0026amp; intelligent about writing, creativity \u0026amp; art making more widely.' - Rebecca Tamas, author of Strangers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'A Horse at Night is a thing of rare beauty. A book to make you fall in love with the life of a real or imagined writer in a way that feels completely fresh - I love it!' - Susan Finlay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'It was a joy to spend time in the company of the author's elegant, wise voice. Many a sentence was underlined. It felt like some bizarre kind of manual.' - GQ\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amina Cain","offers":[{"title":"As New","offer_id":43622282199283,"sku":"9990002810381","price":9.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/products\/9781914198373.jpg?v=1675191864","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/a-horse-at-night-amina-cain-9781914198373","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
