Jenny Diski was a fearless writer, for whom no subject was too difficult, even her own cancer diagnosis. Her columns in the London Review of Books - selected here by her editor and friend Mary-Kay Wilmers, on subjects as various as death, motherhood, sexual politics and the joys of solitude - have been described as ‘virtuoso performances’ and ‘small masterpieces'. Why Didn’t You Just Do What You Were Told? is a collective interrogation of the universal experience from a very particular psyche.

If you've ever wondered, as they sit on your head at 4 a.m., what's going on behind your cat's inscrutable gaze, this audiobook has the answers.

From that point on, Arthur finds himself persistently chivvied by fate into a spiritual quest to find his true self.
