_______________ 'One of the most inventive, original and disturbing
writers of her generation' - Daily Telegraph 'Diski does not do
linear, or normal, or boring ... In Gratitude amounts to the inner
monologue of a highly intelligent, furiously funny, traumatised
woman' - Helen Davies, Sunday Times 'She deserves our unfeigned
admiration, not for her bravery or her struggle, or any irrelevant
tosh like that, but for writing so well' - Guardian _______________
In August 2014, Jenny Diski was diagnosed with inoperable lung
cancer and given 'two or three years' to live. Being a writer, she
decided to write about her experience - and to tell a story she had
not yet told: that of being taken in, aged fifteen, by the author
Doris Lessing, and the subsequent fifty years of their complex
relationship. Splicing childhood memories with present-day
realities, Diski paints an unflinching portrait of two
extraordinary writers - Lessing and herself. Jenny Diski died a
week after the publication of In Gratitude. A cerebral, witty,
dazzlingly candid memoir, it is her final masterpiece.
