About Deborah Levy
Deborah Levy was born in South Africa in 1959. She was nine years old when her father, a member of the African National Congress, was released from prison and the family moved to England. In 2013, she began writing her three-part “living autobiography”. In “Things I Don’t Want To Know” she posed a question to herself: “Why I write”, a response to George Orwell’s famous essay from 1946.By this time, Deborah Levy was already a master of her trade – her novel “Swimming Home” had been nominated for the Booker Prize 2012, establishing her as “one of the most exciting voices in contemporary British fiction”. (Times Literary Supplement) Two more novels, “Hot Milk” and “The Man Who Saw Everything”, were subsequently nominated for the Booker Prize.
