The Long Form

English

By (author): Kate Briggs

Its early morning and theres a whole new day ahead. How will it unfold? The baby will feed, hopefully shell sleep; Helen looks out of the window. The Long Form is the story of two people composing a day together. It is a day of movements and improvisations, common and uncommon rhythms, stopping and starting again. As the morning progresses, a book The History of Tom Jones by Henry Fielding gets delivered, and the scope of the day widens further. Matters of care-work share ground with matters of friendship, housing, translation, aesthetics and creativity. Small incidents of the day revive some of the oldest preoccupations of the novel: the force of social circumstance, the power of names, the meaning of duration and the work of love. With lightness and precision, Kate Briggs renews Henry Fieldings proposition for what a novel can be, combining fiction and essay to write an extraordinary domestic novel of far-reaching ideas.
