RM55.73 MYR
Self-Consciousness: Memoirs
Self-Consciousness: Memoirs

Introspective journey through personal and historical landscapes.

Delving into "Self-Consciousness" by John Updike is like embarking on a multi-layered discovery. The author's introspective analysis of his life and times, with the backdrop of major events like the Vietnam War, combined with his masterful prose, makes this memoir a resonant experience. It's a book that could appeal to anyone interested in the intersections of personal struggle, history, and the crafting of self-identity through the eyes of an acclaimed author.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
