Winner of the Los Angeles Times Christopher Isherwood Prize for Autobiographical ProseNamed a Best Book of the Year by NPR, the Washington Post, TIME, and KirkusA Millions Most Anticipated Book of the YearA USA Today Book Not to MissA LitHub Best-Reviewed Book of the YearReal Estate is the third and final installment in three-time Booker Prize nominated Deborah Levy’s Living Autobiography series: an exhilarating, thought-provoking and boldly intimate meditation on home and the specters that haunt it in our patriarchal society.“Three bicycles. Seven ghosts. A crumbling apartment block on the hill. Fame. Tenderness. The statue of Peter Pan. Silk. Melancholy. The banana tree. A love story.”Virginia Woolf wrote that in order to be a writer, a woman needs a room of one’s own. Now, in Real Estate, acclaimed author Deborah Levy concludes her ground-breaking trilogy of living autobiographies with an exhilarating, boldly intimate meditation on home and the specters that haunt it.In this vibrant memoir, Levy employs her characteristic indelible writing, sharp wit, and acute insights to craft a searing examination of womanhood and ownership. Her inventory of possessions, real and imagined, pushes readers to question our cultural understanding of belonging and belongings and to consider the value of a woman’s intellectual and personal life.Blending personal history, gender politics, philosophy, and literary theory, Real Estate is a brilliant, compulsively readable narrative. Review “Wonderful… Levy, whose prose is at once declarative and concrete and touched with an almost oracular pithiness, has a gift for imbuing ordinary observations with the magic of metaphor… the ordinary stuff of modern life, made radiant by Levy’s clarifying prose. But Levy never lets us lose sight of how extraordinary, both historically and personally, her casual, roving freedom truly is.” - Alexandra Schwartz, The New Yorker“Excellent … playful, candid … a supremely elegant exploration …. It is vibrant and kinetic, never predictable and yet always direct. Like all Levy’s books, it is as good on the second read as the first, if not better. Few writers are able to give so much so swiftly. Levy’s hospitality on the page is a delight.” - Lily Meyer, NPR.org“What a particular pleasure it is to meet [Levys] nuanced work on the page through a voice that is witty and bold, masterfully drawing connections between the charged moments of her life.” - Michele Filgate, The Washington Post“Sparkling with humor and Levy’s zest for life, it’s a read for everyone who understands that home, though always familiar, can be found in the most unexpected of places.” - TIME“[A] delightful, ruminative memoir...[Levys] writing is elliptical and episodic, as if tracing the movement of her mind. But it’s clearly crafted, with ideas recurring and expanding as the book goes on. And for all we see of her moving through the world and her work, her discussion of the places she writes and mentions of the machines she’s written on, she doesn’t portray herself in the act of writing. The book feels as if we’re listening in on her very thoughts, and yet those thoughts are composed off-screen.” - Carolyn Kellogg, Boston Globe“Her bracing trio of memoirs which began with ‘Things I Don’t Want to Know’ in 2013, continued with ‘The Cost of Living’ in 2018, and now concludes in fine
