Some Answers Without Questions

Lavinia Greenlaw

Research output: Book/ReportBook

Abstract

Part memoir, part manifesto, Some Answers Without Questions is a rigorous and lyrical work of self-investigation. Lavinia Greenlaw sets out to explore the impulse to say something, to write or sing, and finds herself confronting matters of presence and absence, anger and speechlessness, authority and permission. The result is important and timely, a spirited and vital exploration of what enables anyone - but a woman and an artist in particular – to speak even when not invited to do so. The title arose from decades of answering questions that don’t really matter and not being asked the ones that do.
