'Anne Lamott has married a razor-sharp wit to a disarming spiritual sincerity." - Entertainment Weekly
Anne Lamott writes about things that begin with capital letters: Alcoholism, Motherhood, Jesus. But armed with self-effacing humor—she is laugh-out-loud funny—and ruthless honesty, Lamott converts her subjects into enchantment.
In all her novels, Lamott writes about loss—loss of loved ones and loss of personal control. She doesn’t try to sugar-coat the sadness, frustration, and disappointment, but tells her stories with honesty, compassion, and a pureness of voice.
Lamott is the author of 7 novels and she has also written several best-selling nonfiction books, including: Operating Instructions, about motherhood, and the classic book on writing, Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life.
