Combining a lyrical text; immersive staging and an enigmatic and compelling performance style; Autobiographer draws us into the unravelling mind of its central character; Flora. Voiced by multiple performers; Flora reveals a curious and evocative portrait of a life refracted through the lens of dementia; layered from fragments of stories and pulses of memory.

It is the beauty of telling stories; even when there is no narrative.

Constantin Brancusi has been my "numero uno" favourite Sculptor for decadesBy Wally AsselberghsConstantin Brancusi has been my "numero uno" favourite Sculptor for decades. so my opinion might be a little bit prejudiced in a positive way. Still consider it as one of the best books I ever read. and I am planning to buy a printed copy of it as well. after reading it on my Kindle. What I most liked about it was the descriptions by the author of his youth and life in rural Romania. which so much influenced and inspired his sculptural forms. The book also gives a great description of the life of artists in Paris. at the times when this city was once the cultural center of planet Earth. Although I experienced some passages were a little tedious. giving overwhelming information of dates of birth and death of some people he met. it is still very historically correct and informative. Great biography in regard of quotations from letters to and from the Sculptor. It was amazing to read how many great artists he connected with in Paris. Brancusi had a very inspiring and powerfull influence on my own ceramic sculptural objects. But.for 3 years in a row. I once forbade myself to look at pictures of his work. as I wanted to avoid any kind of influence which could make me copy his forms. without actually intending to do so....Many congrats for Sandra Miller to write this fascinating book. no more to be said.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Three StarsBy Bill DallasLack of pictures in ebook version reduced the utility of the book.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. An art book with no pictures? (Kindle Version)By CustomerLots of (interesting) words but NO pictures! As the only downloadable book on Brancusi I was hoping for more. Unfortunately the (very short) sample for download does not warn that there are no pictures. How can a book about Brancusi have no pictures?
