Joanna Walsh Livres

Seed’s narrator is on the threshold of adulthood, living in an English valley in the late 1980s when life is overshadowed by fears of nuclear contagion, AIDS and CJD. Composed in narrative threads of poetic prose, Seed explores universal themes of restriction and desire, delving deep into the narrator’s subjective consciousness and demonstrating the polyphonic discourse – fashion magazines, art, public health advice – and relationships that shape her becoming.

A book-length essay on beauty and revolution as seen through the work of Jean-Luc Godard.00As Joanna Walsh watches the films of Jean-Luc Godard, she considers beauty and desire in life and art. ?There?s a resistance, in Godard?s women,? writes Walsh, ?that is at the heart of his work (and theirs).? She is captivated by the Paris of his films and the often porous border between the city presented on screen and the one she inhabited herself. With cool precision, and in language that shines with aphoristic wit, Walsh has crafted an exquisitely intimate portrait of the way attention to works of art becomes attention to changes in ourselves. Taut and gem-like, My Life as a Godard Movie is a probing meditation by one of our most observant writers.00My Life as a Godard Movie is part of the Undelivered Lectures series from Transit Books.0
