Emilia Clarke - once a Mother of Dragons, always a reader of books.
"I normally live in bookshops and I read all the time," she told the BBC's Cultural Frontline programme. "I am unhappy if I'm not in the middle of a book."
Of the many books the Game of Thrones star read during lockdown, one in particular changed the way she thought not only about life, but about death too: Why Didn't You Just Do What You Were Told? by the late essayist and novelist Jenny Diski.

She’s always been vocal about her love of literature, sharing that she’s normally unhappy if she’s not halfway through a good page turner.
This week, when appearing on
BBC’s Cultural Frontline programme, she opened up about how one essay, in particular, really helped her deal with the grief she felt when she lost a parent.

The Cant-Free Elegance of Jenny Diski's Irresistible Mind


The Cant-Free Elegance of Jenny Diski’s Irresistible Mind
Jenny Diski in 1988. “I write fiction and nonfiction, but it’s almost always personal,” Diski said about her writing process. “I’ve never been apologetic about that nor had a sense that my writing is ‘confessional.’ What else am I going to write about but how I know and don’t know the world?”Credit...Fay Godwin/Alamy

WHY DIDN’T YOU JUST DO WHAT YOU WERE TOLD?
Essays
By Jenny Diski
I’ve never been quite sure what the phrase “an acquired taste” is supposed to mean — I presume it has something to do with the subject (a writer) or object (red wine) in question not being immediately accessible or likable — but I would venture that the phrase applies to the British novelist and essayist Jenny Diski. Most critics, whatever their leanings or however widely they range, have a signature style. Diski, by contrast, can’t be easily placed: Her tone can be acidic and dismissive but it can also be empathic and tolerant; sometimes it can seem removed and arbitrary and at other times passionately engaged. In other words, one is never quite sure which Diski one will get. This makes for a singular reading experience, in which one watches an opinion take shape or a verdict bloom as it is happening.

“Why Didn’t You Just Do What You Were Told?” by Jenny Diski (Bloomsbury Publishing)
A lot of criticism doesn’t age well because it’s tied to ephemeral moments in our cultural life. Jenny Diski’s is likely to stand the test of time because it offers readers a bracing mix of razor-sharp analysis and wrenchingly honest autobiography.
