Synopsis

Strangeland

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Her writings are painfully honest . . . Strangeland is more than Tracey's diary, just as her bed and her tent and her blankets are more than private displays that happen to have attracted a lot of attention (Jeanette Winterson The Times)

While her best-known art has shown Emin at her most confrontational, in her writing we meet a calmer, more sensitive soul. ( Observer )

A fantastically engaging storyteller . . . heartbreaking . . . effortlessly funny ( Metro )

As spare and poignant as one of Emin's line drawings ( Marie Claire )

A very readable book, and a surprising one too ( Independent on Sunday)

Eccentrically readable ( Glamour)

Frequently affecting . . . intriguing, almost incantatory ( Saturday Telegraph )

Reveals a funny, sensitive and brave woman ( Grazia )

Emin talks with brutal frankness . . . genuinely uplifting ( Scotsman )

'A fantastically engaging storyteller... heartbreaking... effortlessly funny' ( Metro )

Biographie de l'auteur :

Tracey Emin was born in 1963 to an English mother and a Turkish father, and grew up in Margate. She left school at 15, but later studied Fine Art at Maidstone College and went on to the Royal College of Art. She is now an internationally renowned artist whose work has been exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the world. Several of her pieces, including 'Everyone I Have Ever Slept With', were featured in the 1997 'Sensation' exhibition at the Royal Academy, and in 1999 her work 'My Bed' was shortlisted for the Turner Prize. Strangeland is the first, full-length publication of her writing, which draws together new and revised work from the past 25 years.
