A review by nineteenpoundsofbones
Skating To Antarctica by Jenny Diski

emotional sad slow-paced

5.0

I have only just discovered Jenny Diski's writing, completely by accident, and I am astonished that she isn't better known.  Her writing, at the sentence level, is beautiful, her subjects devastatingly sad but somehow without actually leaving me devastated - rather, by the end of this strangely constructed memoir, I was left feeling oddly hopeful.
