LA PETITE MORT: ANDREA GOLDSMITH IS GOING TO DIE
Writers obsessed with the themes of death and mortality often find comfort in the words of fellow artists interrogating same. What is it that they're seeking in the musings of those who turn to face the Reaper? What does it tell them not only about their own creative practice, but life itself?
Andrea Goldsmith is an award-winning novelist and occasional essayist. Death has featured in most of her 9 novels; indeed, in the forthcoming, The Buried Life, the main character is a sociologist of death. Her fascination with death may be nothing more than her flexing muscles at the Grim Reaper, though she insists that it’s the mystery of death and the fear that it commonly inspires that attracts her - as well as the poetry and the two thousand plus requiems.
