Bøker av David Oates

Living in Paris for a winter and a spring and waking each morning to a view of Notre Dame, David Oates is led to revise his life story from one of trudging and occasional woe into one punctuated by nourishing and sometimes unsettling brilliance. In this book he offers a technique of reimagining one's life story that might be available to anyone.
