"[Levy] is an indelible writer . . . [an] elliptical genius . . . The Cost of Living . . . is always a pleasure to consume." -- Dwight Garner, The New York Times, on THE COST OF LIVING "An astute observer of both the mundane and the inexplicable, Levy sketches memorable details in just a few strokes." -- Yiyun Lee, The New York Times Book Review, on THE COST OF LIVING "A smart, slim meditation on womanhood informed by Levy's wide reading." -- Maureen Corrigan, NPR's "Fresh Air", on THE COST OF LIVING "Unclassifiable, original, full of unexpected pleasures at every turn. ... Delivered in gorgeous, disciplined prose, Deborah Levy has crafted a bracing, searing inquiry into one woman's life that manages to tell the truth of all women's lives." -- Dani Shapiro, on THE COST OF LIVING "Beautifully written ... A captivating journey to find a sense of place." -- Kirkus Reviews, "[Levy] is an indelible writer . . . [an] elliptical genius . . .

A captivating journey to find a sense of place." -- Kirkus Reviews "The third and final book of Deborah Levy's 'living autobiography' takes on the idea of home and houses in many iterations: the haunted, the literary, and what homespace means to a woman writer. Levy considers much about unreal estate too, as the narrator collects her fantasy dream homes...And in essence, puts forth what has always been at the heart of this project, 'to embody and make present a female mind.'" -- The Millions "Home means different things to different people. For you, it might be where you were born or grew up. It might be your chosen home. In Deborah Levy's latest meditation on living, she explores what possessions and property mean and how they can define us." -- Bustle "Levy's fictional books are often nominated for the Booker Prize - and they are excellent. But her autobiographies as a working writer will go down as blueprints for living." -- Donna Liquori, Albany Times-Union, "Wonderful... Levy, whose prose is at once declarative and concrete and touched with an almost oracular pithiness, has a gift for imbuing ordinary observations with the magic of metaphor... the ordinary stuff of modern life, made radiant by Levy's clarifying prose. But Levy never lets us lose sight of how extraordinary, both historically and personally, her casual, roving freedom truly is." -- Alexandra Schwartz, The New Yorker "Beautifully written ...

But it's clearly crafted, with ideas recurring and expanding as the book goes on. And for all we see of her moving through the world and her work, her discussion of the places she writes and mentions of the machines she's written on, she doesn't portray herself in the act of writing. The book feels as if we're listening in on her very thoughts, and yet those thoughts are composed off-screen." -- Carolyn Kellogg, Boston Globe "Beautifully written ...

It is vibrant and kinetic, never predictable and yet always direct. Like all Levy's books, it is as good on the second read as the first, if not better. Few writers are able to give so much so swiftly. Levy's hospitality on the page is a delight." -- Lily Meyer, NPR.org
