NEW YORK TIMES
EDITORS' CHOICE
The best of the indomitable Jenny Diski's essays, "an injection of grade-A intellectual adrenaline" (
Vulture
),
selected by the legendary
editor Mary-Kay Wilmers.
"Diski expanded notions about what nonfiction, as an art form, could do and could be."
New Yorker
Jenny Diski was a fearless writer, for whom no subject was too difficult, even her own cancer diagnosis. Her columns in the
London Review of Books
selected here by her editor and friend Mary-Kay Wilmers, on subjects as various as death, motherhood, sexual politics and the joys of solitudehave been described as "virtuoso performances," and "small masterpieces."
From Highgate Cemetery to the interior of a psychiatric hospital, from Tottenham Court Road to the icebergs of Antarctica,
Why Didn't You Just Do What You Were Told?
is an interrogation of universal experience from a very particular psyche: original, opinionatedand mordantly funny. With an afterword by her daughter, Chloe Diski, this is a must-have for essay lovers everywhere.
