A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice. One of Library Journal 's Best Books of 2020.
One of our most beloved writers reassess the electrifying works of literature that have shaped her life
I sometimes think I was born reading . . . I can't remember the time when I didn't have a book in my hands, my head lost to the world around me.
Unfinished Business: Notes of a Chronic Re-reader is Vivian Gornick's celebration of passionate reading, of returning again and again to the books that have shaped her at crucial points in her life. In nine essays that traverse literary criticism, memoir, and biography, one of our most celebrated critics writes about the importance of reading—and re-reading—as life progresses. Gornick finds herself in contradictory characters within D. H. Lawrence's Sons and Lovers , assesses womanhood in Colette's The Vagabond and The Shackle , and considers the veracity of memory in Marguerite Duras's The Lover . She revisits Great War novels by J. L. Carr and Pat Barker, uncovers the psychological complexity of Elizabeth Bowen's prose, and soaks in Natalia Ginzburg, "a writer whose work has often made me love life more." After adopting two cats, whose erratic behavior she finds vexing, she discovers Doris Lessing's Particularly Cats .
Guided by Gornick's trademark verve and insight, Unfinished Business is a masterful appreciation of literature's power to illuminate our lives from a peerless writer and thinker who "still read[s] to feel the power of Life with a capital L."

I sometimes think I was born reading ... I can't remember the time when I didn't have a book in my hands, my head lost to the world around me.
A celebration of passionate reading from the acclaimed author and critic
In nine stunning essays, the inimitable Vivian Gornick returns to the books that have shaped her. From a reporter in 1970s New York, to a feminist negotiating love and independence, to a writer in the jubilant sanctity of older age: Gornick's life is compelling, and in the characters of literature she finds versions of herself through the years, each time she opens the page.
Gornick finds solace in the contradictory figures of D.H. Lawrence's Sons and Lovers , assesses womanhood in Colette, and reflects on Marguerite Duras's The Lover ; she revisits Great War novels by J.L. Carr and Pat Barker, uncovers the psychological complexity in Elizabeth Bowen, and soaks in Natalia Ginzberg, 'whose work ... made me love life more'. When two erratic, highly strung cats enter her life, she discovers Doris Lessing's Particularly Cats .
Infused with Gornick's trademark verve and insight, this collection is a masterful appreciation of literature and its ability to illuminate.
'Literature knows few champions as ardent or insightful — or as uncompromising — which is to readers' good fortune.' — Kirkus
