Yoga

A$33 · Offered by Harry Hartog Rare Books

A powerful reckoning with mental illness and a search for truth and healing through the discipline of yoga, from one of the world's greatest living writers This is a book about yoga. Or at least, it was. January 2015. High on literary success and familial bliss, Emmanuel Carr re embarks on a rigorous ten-day meditative retreat in rural France in search of clarity and material for his next book, which he thinks will be a subtle, upbeat introduction to yoga. But his trip is cut short, and he is brought down to earth with a thud when he returns to a Paris in turmoil in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack. From then on, Carr re's life - along with his novel-in-progress - begins to unravel in ever more unexpected ways. 'The story of how a life can fray, tighten itself into a noose, unravel... profound and moving' Geoff Dyer 'Extraordinarily compelling' Financial Times
