Yoga

Completely arresting. He [Carrère] has the talent…of showing us his foibles without demanding that we identify with them. * The Times *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. – Cal Flyn * Literary Review *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. – Geoff DyerA 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. – Sam Byers * Guardian *I loved Emmanuel Carrère’s Yoga... A useful manual for this era, where nothing seems connected but everything’s related. – Adam Thirlwell * Times Literary Supplement Books of the Year *Unlike any book I’ve ever read… Carrère 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 *Stunning…Yoga is a deeply moving reflection on the painful occupation that is living. * Elle *[Carrère’s] skill in constructing a narrative from disparate materials is exceptional… [and] relentlessly interesting. * Observer *Impressive… reveals itself as a monumental book on the human condition. * L’Obs *
