She believes passionately that art and science are too often kept separate and that conversations across disciplines are vital to increasing our knowledge of the human mind and body, how they connect and how we think, feel and see.</p><p>The essays in this volume - all written between 2011 and 2015 - are in three parts. <em><strong>A Woman Looking at Men Looking at Women</strong></em> brings together penetrating pieces on particular artists and writers such as Picasso, Kiefer and Susan Sontag as well as essays investigating the biases that affect how we judge art, literature, and the world in general. <em><strong>The Delusions of Certainty</strong></em> is an essay about the mind/body problem, showing how this age-old philosophical puzzle has shaped contemporary debates on many subjects and how every discipline is coloured by what lies beyond argument-desire, belief, and the imagination. The essays in the final section, <em><strong>What Are We? Lectures on the Human Condition</strong></em>, tackle such elusive neurological disorders as synesthesia and hysteria. Drawing on research in sociology, neurobiology, history, genetics, statistics, psychology and psychiatry, this section also contains a profound consideration of suicide and a towering reconsideration of Kierkegaard. Together they form an extremely stimulating, thoughtful, wide-ranging exploration of some of the fundamental questions about human beings and the human condition, delivered with Siri Hustvedts customary lucidity, vivacity and infectiously questioning intelligence.</p>(*_*)9781473638921_<p><strong>A great mind that is constantly exploring, searching, "becoming" . . . an impressive collection Elif Shafak, <em>Observer</em></strong></p><p><strong>A</strong> <strong>phenomenal book</strong> Claire Kohda Hazelton,<em><strong>Guardian</strong></em></p><p><strong>We are fortunate to have Hustvedt voicing doubt so intelligently Lara Feigel, <em>Financial Times</em></strong></p><p><strong>A TRAIL-BLAZING AND INSPIRING COLLECTION OF ESSAYS ON ART, FEMINISM, NEUROSCIENCE AND PSYCHOLOGY FEATURING <em>THE DELUSIONS OF CERTAINTY</em>, WINNER OF THE EUROPEAN ESSAY PRIZE 2019.</strong></p><p>Internationally acclaimed as a novelist, Siri Hustvedt is also highly regarded as a writer of non-fiction whose insights are drawn from her broad knowledge in the arts, humanities, and sciences.</p><p>In this trilogy of works collected in a single volume, Hustvedt brings a feminist, interdisciplinary perspective to a range of subjects. Louise Bourgeois, Pablo Picasso, Susan Sontag and Karl Ove Knausgaard are among those who come under her scrutiny. In the books central essay, she explores the intractable mind-body problem and in the third section she reflects on the mysteries of hysteria, synesthesia, memory, perception, and the philosophy of Sren Kierkegaard. With clarity, wit, and passion, she exposes gender bias, upends received ideas, and challenges her reader to think again.</p><p><strong>PRAISE FOR SIRI HUSTVEDT:</strong></p><p>Hustvedt is that rare artist, a writer of high intelligence, profound sensuality and a less easily definable capacity for which the only word I can find is wisdom <strong>Salman Rushdie</strong></p><p>It is Hustvedts gift to write with exemplary clarity of what is by necessity unclear <strong>Hilary Mantel</strong></p><p>Her novels have received a deserved acclaim.
