Diary of a Steak, by Deborah Levy (1997)
Edited by Michael Bracewell and Jane Rolo.
Diary of a Steak is a chronicle of how madness is not only part of English heritage, but a source of national pride. It is confrontational in its subject matter and its analysis, shot through with mordant wit, the 'diarist' articulates the contemporary handling of paranoia, mental illness and the status of the individual within the herd. Politically timely and eminently topical, Levy's text defines her as a writer of radical originality and technical accomplishment.
Printed offset in an edition of 1,500 copies, with a full colour soft cover.
52 pages, 210 x 125mm.
