{"product_id":"9781922268563-secondhand-blueberries","title":"Blueberries","description":"A stimulating combination of memoir, essay, poetry, confession and critique, Blueberries is a powerful and revealing collection from a rising star in Australian creative non-fiction.\n\nSometimes I think it's possible to live with anything. That we're wired to survive-survive-survive, to grip onto the gnarliest thread until life is pried from our bones. Other times I think, it's not possible to live at all. Not at all.\n\nBlueberries could be described as a collection of essays, the closest term available for a book that resists classification: a blend of personal essay, polemic, prose poetry, true-crime journalism and confession that considers a fragmented life, reflecting on what it means to be a woman, a body, an artist. It is both a memoir and an interrogation of memoir. It is a new horizon in storytelling.\n\nIn crystalline prose, Savage explores the essential questions of the examined life: what is it to desire? What is it to accommodate oneself to the world? And at what cost?\n\n'The most exciting work of creative non-fiction to be published in this country since Maria Tumarkin took up the pen.' Australian\n\n'Her voice  is  reassuringly droll, critical and warmly intimate... Savage  has a poetic way of reminding us that crucial learning comes only with age-that time is finite.' Saturday Paper\n\n'In form and in content, Blueberries is exquisite.'
