SYNOPSIS
_______________
''One of the most inventive, original and disturbing writers of her generation'' - Daily Telegraph
''Diski does not do linear, or normal, or boring … In Gratitude amounts to the inner monologue of a highly intelligent, furiously funny, traumatised woman'' - Helen Davies, Sunday Times
''She deserves our unfeigned admiration, not for her bravery or her struggle, or any irrelevant tosh like that, but for writing so well'' - Guardian
_______________
In August 2014, Jenny Diski was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer and given ''two or three years'' to live. Being a writer, she decided to write about her experience - and to tell a story she had not yet told: that of being taken in, aged fifteen, by the author Doris Lessing, and the subsequent fifty years of their complex relationship. Splicing childhood memories with present-day realities, Diski paints an unflinching portrait of two extraordinary writers - Lessing and herself.
Jenny Diski died a week after the publication of In Gratitude. A cerebral, witty, dazzlingly candid memoir, it is her final masterpiece.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jenny Diski
Jenny diski nasceu em Londres, em 1947, cidade onde viveu e trabalhou quase sempre. Após um período conturbado na adolescência, foi acolhida pela escritora Doris Lessing durante alguns anos. Frequentou o curso de Antropologia, que nunca terminou, e deu aulas. Estreou-se na escrita depois de ser mãe, com Like Mother. Escreveu dez romances (o último dos quais Apology for the Woman Writing), um livro de contos, três ensaios (incluindo A View from the Bed and Other Observations) e cinco livros de viagens/memórias, entre os quais Skating to Antarctida e Desconhecida num Comboio. Este último valeu-lhe o prestigiado Prémio Thomas Cook Travel Book e o Prémio J.R. Ackerley for Autobiography. Dizia: «Viajo para me manter quieta.» Publicou textos durante mais de vinte anos na London Review of Books. Morreu em Cambridge, em 2016, deixando instruções para que nunca se dissesse que tinha «perdido a batalha» contra o cancro. «Não estou a lutar, perder, ganhar ou suportar.» O seu último livro publicado foi um diário da doença: On Gratitude.
