“Where is meaning in the meteoric passage of
time, the speed in which our lives are spent? Where is meaning in the
pits? In the suffering? I think these questions are worth asking.”
—Anne Lamott
Anne is the
brilliant author of Operating
Instructions: A Journal of My Son’s First Year; Bird by Bird; Traveling
Mercies, Plan B; Grace (Eventually); Some Assembly Required; Help, Thanks, Wow;
and the seven novels Rosie, Hard Laughter; Joe Jones; All New
People; Crooked Little Heart, Blue Show and Imperfect Birds.
Stitches: A Handbook on Meaning, Hope and Repair is an honest, funny book about how to make
sense of life’s chaos. Anne is one
eloquently hip authority on this crucial subject. “I have a lot of hope and
faith and I struggle to communicate that.”
She emphatically
succeeds: in her books and in her talks, she lifts, comforts, and inspires – all the
while keeping us laughing.
Lamott has been honored with a Guggenheim Fellowship, and
has taught at UC Davis, as well as at writing conferences across the country.
Her biweekly Salon Magazine online
diary Word by Word was voted The Best
of the Web by Time Magazine.
Academy
Award-winning filmmaker Freida Mock has made a documentary on Anne entitled “Bird by
Bird with Annie.” Anne Lamott has also been inducted into
the California Hall of Fame.
Leah Garchik is a beloved veteran columnist for the
San Francisco Chronicle.
