OverviewA 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.

He [Carrere] has the talent...of showing us his foibles without demanding that we identify with them. * The Times * A devastating portrait...[Carrere'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. -- Sam Byers * Guardian * An exhilarating new work of autofiction... It's wonderful. It is Carrere's willingness to face his own flaws full in the face that makes his writing so striking, and - dare I say it - relatable. * Literary Review * Unlike any book I've ever read... Carrere is anything but ordinary as a talent, but his great and precious gift is to reveal his own mind in such a way that illuminates the infinity that belongs to every human person. * Megan Nolan, author of ACTS OF DESPERATION * [With] relentless clarity of thought and confessional honesty... Yoga is fascinating on the purpose of meditation... [an] extraordinarily compelling account. * Financial Times * Author InformationEmmanuel Carr re is a novelist, journalist, screenwriter, and film director.
