My Unwritten Books

In 'My Unwritten Books', George Steiner reflects on seven book projects he never completed, delving into topics such as the work of Joseph Needham, the role of envy in intellectual history, and the intersection of language and sex.

The book offers a unique glimpse into Steiner's intellectual and personal journeys, revealing why these projects remained unwritten.

It is both a memoir and a philosophical exploration of the challenges and taboos that prevented these books from being written.
