My Katherine Mansfield Project

Author: Kirsty Gunn

£14.99
QTY

When Kirsty Gunn received a Randell Fellowship from the British Academy and Carnegie Foundation in 2009 she returned to spend the winter in Wellington, near the childhood home of Katherine Mansfield, the writer to whom she’d always felt most connected.

In this lyrical essay, Gunn explores the ideas of home and belonging – and of her own deep connection to a place where every flower and gatepost seems embroidered with the memory of some story or another.

‘A beautiful and mood-provoking book...the writing went into my consciousness and I felt the loneliness, the sadness, the love and identification with Katherine Mansfield...It was beautiful.’
Jane Campion
‘Kirsty Gunn is a deep thinker; a maverick, an entertainer, and a great writer.’
Deborah Levy
‘I began reading it and could not put it down until I had finished.
John Carey
‘A book to be treasured by anyone who has left home and moved away.’
