Praise for Yoga "Fascinating . Funny . Carrère's work revolves around a practice of extreme--deranged, even--candor . I would gladly read a hundred pages of Carre're scrutinizing the 'huge caverns' of his nostrils, lingering on the way that air prickles and tingles against their walls." --Molly Young, The New York Times Book Review "A devastating portrait . [Carrère's] singular, ever-expanding work, in which one pain need never obscure another, in which truths and half-truths are held not in opposition but in delicate, precarious balance, is an answer in itself." --Sam Byers, The Guardian "[ Yoga ] is a tour de force." --Sarah Richmond, The Times Literary Supplement "Carrère remains a fascinating character on the page, and his lithe confessional writing will resonate with longtime fans.

The result is another marvelous creation from Carrère's boundless imagination." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Vivid . an intimate chronicle punctuated by loss, desperation, and trauma . a probing memoir." -- Kirkus Reviews Praise for Emmanuel Carrère "Carrère has managed to write one masterpiece after another . He is widely understood as France's greatest writer of nonfiction." --Wyatt Mason, The New York Times Magazine "Carrère is masterly both at singling out the telling detail and at grasping and conveying his subject as a whole . What is most compelling about his work is the quality of his mind, of his thinking.

Of the scourging pressure of his need to understand." --Robert Gottlieb, The New York Times Book Review "Carrère has become celebrated for his propulsive, original, free-ranging narratives, which frequently mix memoir, biography, and fiction . He is such engrossing and charming company--witty, restless, intellectually bold, confessional, shame-proof." --James Wood, The New Yorker "Emmanuel Carrère is known for the way he bends and breaks genres . The core of Mr. Carrère's talent is precisely that he brings readers into sympathetic contact with others, powerful and powerless, insiders and outsiders." -- The Economist (UK) "The most exciting living writer." --Karl Ove Knausgaard.
