Fearless and essential – the highly anticipated final instalment in Deborah Levy's critically acclaimed Living Autobiography.

Following the international critical and commercial success of The Cost of Living, this final volume of Levy's Living Autobiography is an exhilarating, thought-provoking and boldly intimate meditation on home and the spectres that haunt it. It resumes and expands Levy's pioneering examination of a female life lived in the storm of the present tense, asking essential questions about womanhood, modernity, creative identity and personal freedom.

From one of the great thinkers and writers of our time, Real Estate is a memoir and a manifesto for radical emancipation – as an artist, as a woman, and as an inheritor of the real estate of the now.
