Not One Day by Anne Garréta
4.0
"It comes down to a single maxim: Not one day without a woman." For one month Anne Garréta sets out to sit down every day and write five hours about a woman she desired or/ and who desired her. No editing, no looking up dates or contexts. Just writing. Then sorting the episodes in order of the first letter of the women's names.
This little book is the result of Garréta's experiment and it is much more than what I could easily summarize here (also because I feel it is best not to give too much away). It is a musing on desire, but also on writing, the binaries of fiction/non-fiction, of memory/fantasy. Poetic, sometimes tender. I am sure I will come back to this book.
