Omschrijving
Completely arresting. He [Carrère] has the talent...of showing us his foibles without demanding that we identify with them.

An exhilarating new work of autofiction... It's wonderful. It is Carrère's willingness to face his own flaws full in the face that makes his writing so striking, and - dare I say it - relatable.
Yoga is the story of how a life can fray, tighten itself into a noose, unravel and, in the process, be built and braided into lines that make up a profound and moving work of art.
A devastating portrait...[Carrère's] singular, ever-expanding work, in which one pain need never obscure another, in which truths and half-truths are held not in opposition but in delicate, precarious balance, is an answer in itself.
I loved Emmanuel Carrère's Yoga... A useful manual for this era, where nothing seems connected but everything's related.
