Bøker av Lara Feigel

Lara Feigel listens to birds outside her window - their circling, animated calls - and thinks of D. H. Lawrence. It is the year 2020, and as the pandemic takes hold she locks down with her partner, her two children, and that most mercurial of writers. Proceeding month by month through the year, Lara sets out to reassess D. H. Lawrence; to use him as a guide to life; to find companionship; to help her make sense of this new, off-kilter world. Tracing the arc of Lawrence's life and delving deep into his writings, she is exposed to his rage, his passion, his tumultuous vitality. And as she watches the season change alongside D.H. Lawrence, Lara finds the rhythms of her own life changing in new and unexpected ways. A dazzling blend of literary criticism, biography and memoir, Look! We Have Come Through! is a spellbinding excavation of an author, and a compelling manifesto for living bravely.
