Or, as she calls it “living autobiography”. Real Estate, the multi-Booker Prize-shortlisted novelist’s third instalment, wraps up her quest to explore how a woman should live – and write – as she emerges from the constraints of family life.

Want to know how to live well? Read Deborah Levy s Real Estate

The third part of Deborah Levy s autobiography traces her search for a home Credit: Sheila Burnett Real Estate is the third part of the project the novelist Deborah Levy calls her “living autobiography”, in which she has freed herself from convention and found a more organic form. Traditional linear autobiography often comes at the end of a life, freighted with an expectation that hindsight has imbued it with wisdom. Levy’s living autobiography has engaging immediacy, and we are thrust right into the midst of her sturm und drang. She collages time frames and subjective memories together with philosophic musings. We live her pains and her pleasures, and to do so is a wonder, as Levy’s writing can turn any experience if not always into gold, then at least turmeric-coloured silk – like the bed sheet she takes with her to a literary festival in Mumbai, and has a tailor fashion into a dress.

Real Estate by Deborah Levy review

Real Estate by Deborah Levy review Susannah Butter Deborah Levy is in a reflective mood in Real Estate, the third and final part of her living biography series. Her sixtieth birthday is approaching, which is making her wonder what she would like the rest of her life to look like. She feels compelled to think about her legacy but hits a stumbling block; the problem that drives this book is that she can’t work out what she wants. Her conundrum is summed up in a passage where she imagines Marmee from Little Women coming to a fictional café that Levy and her two daughters have invented called Girls & Women. Levy wonders whether she will serve Marmee the house entree of Vodka & Cigarettes or conjure a healthier dish. She can’t decide and what starts as a fun thought experiment ends up articulating what Real Estate is grappling with: You never know what a woman really wants because she is always being told what she wants.”

What s Behind the Label Domestic Fiction ? ‹ Literary Hub

Marguerite Duras, with whom I’ve reconnected thanks to Deborah Levy’s brilliant Things I Don’t Want to Know, wrote that women often create a home in search of a utopia. Levy points out that the utopia is often defined by others’ needs: “We had a go at cancelling our own desires and found we had a talent for it. And we put a lot of our life’s energy into creating a home for our children and our men.” The force of this observation nearly caused Levy’s book to fall from my hands. I was guilty of this (endless) search for a domestic utopia; yet, this description did not entirely sum me up. I enjoy trying to figure out where my favorite lamp looks best, or what plates to use for dinner tonight, but when I am not searching for utopia in my home I am teaching, reading, doing research and writing (and paying bills and going to the doctor and a whole lot of utterly non-utopian activities.) Over the years, my pursuit has been blighted by more than one domestic dystopia. And
