Linn Ullmann

Each summer of her childhood, the daughter visited her father at his remote Faro island home on the edge of the Baltic Sea. 
 
Years later, when she is grown with children of her own and he's in his eighties, they plan to write a book together. It will be about age and time, language and memory. She will ask the questions. He will answer them. The tape recorder will record. But old age has caught up with him in ways neither could have foreseen. And when the man is gone, only memories - both remembered and recorded - remain. 
 
Heart-breaking and spellbinding, Unquiet is a seamless blend of fiction and memoir in pursuit of elemental truths about how we live, love, lose and age.

Unquiet

Susan Sontag

More than thirty years after On Photography comes Sontag on Film: a collection of Sontag's writings and musings on films and cinema, gathered together for the first time by critic David Thomson and producer Tom Luddy. Inspired, vigorous and enlightening, it includes lucid discussions of the intersection between film and literature; in-depth studies of films and directors; and other such delightful and illuminating fragments as a list of Sontag's top-ten films taken from a 1982 issue of Sight and Sound. 
 
This is an indispensable addition to the literature of film, and a wonderful reminder of the greatness of the writer.
