On public parks: "A civic garden square gentles the pace of the city that surrounds it, holding a thought before it scrambles." On Elizabeth Hardwick: "She understands what is at stake in literature." On the conclusion of a marriage: "It doesn't take an alien to tell us that when love dies we have to find another way of being alive." <p/>Levy traces and measures her life against the backdrop of different literary imaginations; each page is a beautiful, questioning composition of the self. <i>The Position of Spoons</i> is full of wisdom and astonishments and brings us into intimate conversation with one of our most insightful, intellectually curious writers.</p>
