Real to Reel by Lidia Yuknavitch
With an intelligence that scalds every pretense and surface, Lidia Yuknavitch's camera pans across subjects as varied as Keanu Reeves and Siberian prison laborers. She zooms in on drug addiction, crime, sex of all flavors, trauma, torture, rock and roll, and art, all the while revealing untried angles and alien shapes. She traces the inner lives of characters teetering on edges - death, birth, love, understanding - but never flinching at the spectacle of their violent descent. This collection represents a verbal cinematographer at her best as she captivates the reader with a prose style that is mesmerizing and fluid, deep and dangerous.Lidia Yuknavitch is the author of the national popular books The Book of Joan, The Little Backs of Children, Dora: A Headcase, and The Chronology of Water, as well as the memoir The Chronology of Water. Her TED Talk, The Beauty of Being a Misfit, has been seen over 2 million times. She has won two Oregon Book Awards and a Willamette Writers Award, as well as being a nominee for the 2017 Brooklyn Public Library Literary Prize and the 2012 Pen Center Creative Nonfiction Award. She lives in Portland, Oregon, where she writes, teaches, and writes.
