The Cost of Living - Living Autobiography (Paperback, 영국판)
『알고 싶지 않은 것들』에 이은 데버라 리비의 자전적 에세이 3부작의 둘째 권. 50대에 들어선 지은이가 이혼한 시점을 배경으로 사회가 여성, 특히 어머니라는 존재를 두고 멋대로 품은 망상과 이들에게 가해 온 억압을 예리하게 파헤친다. 그 과정에서 문학과 영화, 조각 등 여러 분야에서 활약한 앞선 세대 여성 작가들과 교감하는 한편 젊은 여성 세대에 희망과 연대를 표한다.
이 자전적 이야기의 메시지는 “아직 쓰이지 않은 주연급 여성 캐릭터”를 발견해야 한다는 것이다. 『살림 비용』은 그런 캐릭터를 작품에서 형상화하려는 작가의 고민을 공유하는 에세이며, 나아가 지은이 자신이 현실에서 그런 여성이 되고자 고군분투하는 과정을 담은 기록이다.
