FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF LAST ORDERS AND MOTHERING SUNDAY,
and reissued for the first time in Scribner, a brilliant collection
of essays, as well as brand new material, that will delight and
intrigue readers. In Making an Elephant, Graham Swift brings
together a richly varied selection of essays, portraits, poetry,
and reflections on his life in writing. Full of insights into his
passions and motivations, and wise about the friends, family, and
other writers who have mattered to him over the years, this is a
revealing and intimate collection. Kazuo Ishiguro advises on how to
choose a guitar, Salman Rushdie arrives for Christmas under guard,
and Ted Hughes shares the secrets of a Devon river. There are
private moments, too, with long-dead writers, as well as musings on
history and memory that readers of Swift's novels will recognize
and love. Praise for Mothering Sunday: 'Bathed in light; and even
when tragedy strikes, it blazes irresistibly... Swift's small
fiction feels like a masterpiece' Guardian 'Alive with sensuousness
and sensuality ... wonderfully accomplished, it is an achievement'
Sunday Times 'From start to finish Swift's is a novel of stylish
brilliance and quiet narrative verve. The archly modulated, precise
prose (a hybrid of Henry Green and Kazuo Ishiguro) is a glory to
read. Now 66, Swift is a writer at the very top of his game'
Evening Standard 'Mothering Sunday is a powerful, philosophical and
exquisitely observed novel about the lives we lead, and the
parallel lives - the parallel stories - we can never know ... It
may just be Swift's best novel yet' Observer
