In carefully crafted and tightly focused chronicles (called ‘textlings’) [[Marion Michell]] gives glimpses of a life bent out of shape by a debilitating and little understood disease and evokes the highs and lows of trying to maintain a creative practice as an artist/writer whose days are framed by [[M.E.]] and P.O.T.S. ==Publisher's synopsis== ''(This synopsis was provided by the publisher for promotional purposes. For book reviews, please see Links section below.)'' Marion Michell's textlings are carefully crafted and tightly focussed chronicles. In this brilliant series of soliloquies on life and art, Michell reveals the highs and the lows of working as an artist and writer while dealing with M.E. and P.O.T.S. Piercing and full of gusto, at times savagely funny, they give glimpses of a life (and consequently many other people's lives) bent out of shape by debilitating and little understood diseases. Most importantly, though, language is turned into adventure. Minute-work (when energy allows) - Michell's prose is lucid, luminous, and entertains, enthrals, informs. Her prose is lucid, luminous, and entertains, enthralls. This collection will resonate with fellow sufferers of M.E. and those who care about them. == Excerpt == ''"Amongst all the f-words, fatigue is the worst. M.E. is like a burglar who steals from you every minute of every day. Its booty is your energy, half a sackful of cognitive functions and whatever else it can find. Out goes your profession, your social life; your mobility, vision, memory; your ability to look after yourself without help; your idiosyncratic vitality - in short: the way you were in the world. Hardest though: your intelligence curls up in a ball and rolls out of reach, and you lie in wait for those rare instants when you can seize it by the scruff of its scrawny neck and pull it from under bed, for a wee while."''<ref>{{Cite book | url =https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/989549966 | title = Supinely sublimely: selected prose | last = Michell | first = Marion|publisher=Palewell Press| year = 2016|isbn=9780955677076|editor-link=|edition=First|location=London|pages=|chapter=|oclc=989549966|quote=|editor-last2=|editor-link2=}}</ref> == Links == [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Supinely-Sublimely-Selected-Marion-Michell/dp/0955677076 Supinely Sublimely - Amazon UK] [https://www.amazon.com/Supinely-Sublimely-Selected-Marion-Michell/dp/0955677076 Supinely Sublimely - Amazon US] [http://palewellpress.co.uk Supinely Sublimely - Palewell Press] ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Books]] [[Category:English books]] [[Category:Memoir books]]
