On this episode we meet Clare Carlisle to discuss Transcendence for Beginners, (Fitzcarraldo Editions). A book written through love and mourning, it is, as the title suggests, explorative, unbound and deeply moving.

Ranging widely, from Soren Kierkegaard to George Eliot, The Himalayas to The Isle of Skye, it is a book that offers us devotion and loss as expressions of love. A timely and generative reminder of our own porous and momentary selves and quite simply, a very beautiful book.

‘A work of thrilling lucidity and substance,’

Clare Harman, author of All Sorts of Lives

‘This is the book of a lifetime’s and a book about lifetimes.’

Francesca Wade, author of Gertrude Stein: An Afterlife

'In an era marked by rampant cruelty and selfishness, Transcendence for Beginners offers its readers various modes of the radiant life.’

Siri Hustvedt, author of Mothers, Fathers and Others
