Join us for a reading with Deborah Levy as she sits down with Honor Moore to discuss her work.
Â
Deborah Levy’s award-winning trilogy of genre-bending "living autobiographies", considers the matter of finding a voice and the courage and purpose to use it. In Real Estate, Levy asks a practical and existential question: If patriarchy owns the deeds to the land, are women its sitting tenants? If so, how might she find a home of her own? In The Cost of Living, she considers what it takes to become a mother, to lose a mother, to dismantle her own life and remake it anew? And, in Things I Don’t Want To Know, Levy’s pioneering portrait of a young woman in the storm of life, she wonders what it takes for a writer to claim her feelings and thoughts and believe they might be valuable? Deborah Levy's fiction includes Swimming Home, Hot Milk and The Man Who Saw Everything, all nominated for the Booker Prize.Â

The New School offered the first academic creative writing workshop in 1931 and pioneered a new philosophy of education. The idea: students would make their own lives and their own stories part of their education. Today, The New School continues to celebrate and cultivate daring and diverse new voices through its Creative Writing program. The value of this approach is reflected in the publications and achievements of our MFA Creative Writing graduates and faculty.
