These Possible Lives by Fleur Jaeggy

4.0

Fleur Jaeggy is an author who has been on the edge of my consciousness for a while now, and I'm glad to have finally read one of her books. These Possible Lives is short but intense, featuring three wildly imaginative biographic portraits that (even in translation) sing with the beautiful invention of an ecstatic bibliophile, the same sort of energy that powered Jorge Luis Borge's magical writings.
