Beschreibung
As a writer, Ann Patchett knows what the outcome of her fiction will be. Life, however, often takes turns we do not see coming. Patchett ponders this truth in these wise essays that afford a fresh and intimate look into her mind and heart. With her trademark blend of wryness, intelligence and wisdom, she explores themes like family, friendship, marriage, failure, and success - and how all these forces have shaped her as a writer. Essays from the author of "The Dutch House".
