Not One Day
Not One Day | Anne Garreta
4 posts | 7 read | 7 to read
Not One Day begins with a maxim: "Not one day without a woman." What follows is an intimate, erotic, and sometimes bitter recounting of loves and lovers past, breathtakingly written, exploring the interplay between memory, fantasy, and desire."For life is too short to submit to reading poorly written books and sleeping with women one does not love."Anne Garreta, author of the groundbreaking novel Sphinx (Deep Vellum, 2015), is a member of the renowned Oulipo literary group. Not One Day won the Prix Medicis in 2002, recognizing Garreta as an author "whose fame does not yet match their talent."

Something of a revelation.

Recent #bookhaul - two from my favorite bookshop (Tombolo) and two in the mail. I sorta met Patty Yumi Cottrell recently with Sarah Gerard. I rarely nerd out but my awkward levels went through the roof. I offered them coffee and water and accidentally left them with empty cups.

DannyOlda Also, this is why I love indie bookshops. I feel like mine completely gets me. At this point they've been so right on with suggestions, I'll buy anything they suggest. 6y

The cover caught my eye & since I‘m a sucker for aqueous soft-touch coated covers I just purchased it, not aware of this gem.
The opulent diction was delightful as was the unique style of storytelling. A quick & interesting read.

This book is an interesting exploration of desire. It's use of description is quite eloquent. This book is well written and thoughtful. You can tell the author is stretching herself by sharing.
