A note from anne lamott. Everywhere I travelled in the last fiveyears or so to talk about writing, I found myself approached by
http://www.randomhouse.com/vintage/read/traveling/lamott.html

Extractions: I started to realize that there was a great hunger and thirst for regular, cynical, ragbag people to talk about God and goodness and virtue in a tone that didn't frighten and upset you, or make you feel that you were doing even more poorly than you'd thought. Once I turned my mind to this, all of these stories, moments and connections started appearing to me. When I told them to peopleto readers or to friendsthey were almost relieved. It was so great to start comparing notes about this faith of ours, to be funny and sarcastic and attitudinally challenged about it, and still be people who could be devoted to God. We no longer had to feel that we were crazy or self-righteous or losers, or pathetic for having that faith. We were just maybe a little different. Soon all kinds of people starting giving me soul food in the form of stories, insights, feedback, great lines, jokes and bumper stickers, and I started to put that soul food back into circulation. And because a lot of this material we were sharing comes from our most human and private and real and vulnerable places, it turns out to be both unbelievably funny and very, very touching. So I don't think of Traveling Mercies as a book about religion at all, but rather as a handbook, or maybe a sort of owner's manual, for people who are trying to live faithfully: which is to say, learning to cooperate with graceeven (or especially) when real life rears its very confusing head. It's a book about some of us whosurprising even ourselvescame to believe in a loving God who is with us alwayseven on bad thigh days, even in the midst of homework wars with our childrena God who does not roll His or Her eyes at us even when we are trying to buy cars, or date, who does not forsake us, even when we whine, or are bad to each other. It is about my experiences with a God who loves me, chooses me, forgives me, every step of the amazing way.

Extractions: ISBN 1880717-379 1997 Audie Award winner for country's Best Educational/How-to/Instructional Audiobook. Provocative and witty, Lamott takes you beyond her book Bird by Bird . Good writing, she says, slows you down, opens your heart and arrives through your fingers, knowing what it's about. Learn how to keep things simple and how to write honestly about family and friends as you listen to this inspiring live performance. [Order Now] Bird By Bird With Annie 40-Minute VHS video; $24.95 BIRD BY BIRD WITH ANNIE is a portrait of the best-selling author and laugh-out-loud funny humorist Anne Lamott ( Bird by Bird Operating Instructions Crooked Little Heart ). It is the moving story of a survivor, a recovering addict and alcoholic and a single mother who is both a born-again Christian and a liberal activist. The film, a year in the life of the writer, focuses on her gift at demystifying the creative process, the people that inform her life and writing, and the beauty of language and the written arts. It touches upon concerns of universal interest - loss, alienation, loneliness, faith, the meaning of life and the perhaps less weighty concerns of unfirm thighs, difficult hair and retail therapy. Annie likes to pass on the "secret of life" that she found written on a computer terminal bearing a picture of Koko the gorilla: "The law of the American jungle: Remain calm and share your bananas."

I'd like to have your reaction to add to The Front Porch, so e-mail me at info@writersaudio.com Elaine Davenport , Publisher, Writer's AudioShop Picking a Bone with Anne Lamott Tease: Hi. This is Jules Older, and I've got a bone to pick with one of my favorite writers. Stay tuned, and get in on the fight. Announcer: Jules Older is crazy about a certain writer. But the course of love does not always run smooth. Anne Lamott is my favorite writer who writes about writing. So why aren't I happy with Anne Lamott? Because of something she said at the beginning of Tape One, Side One. She said: "Publication has nothing to offer you... It will work like a big plate of cocaine, where if you get the good news, it will take your mind off things for awhile. And then very quickly you will need more good news and better good news." Lamott argues, "The writing itself can provide the solace, the illumination, the direction, the self-awareness... and it can open your heart. And there's nothing more important than that." She dismisses publication as like "like being on the rat exercise wheel."

http://www.counterpointpress.com/1582430543.html

Extractions: "Anne Lamott is a cause for celebrations. [Her] real genius lies in capturing the ineffable, describing not perfect moments, but imperfect ones ... perfectly. She is nothing short of miraculous." The New Yorker "[She is] sidesplittingly funny, patiently wise, and alternately cranky and kind." Seattle Times "Lamott writes about subjects that begin with capital letters (Alcoholism, Motherhood, Jesus). But armed with self-effacing humor and ruthless honesty-call it a lower-case approach to life's Big Questions-she converts potential op-ed boilerplate into enchantment." Newsweek "Smart, funny, and comforting ... Lamott has a conversational style that perfectly conveys her friendly self-deprecating humor." With generosity, humor, and pathos, Anne Lamott takes on the barrage of dislocating changes that shook the Sixties. A half-adult child among often childish adults, Nanny grows up with two spectacularly odd parents-a writer father and a mother who is "a constant source of material." As she moves into her adolescence, so, it seems, does America. While grappling with her own coming-of-age, Nanny witnesses an entire culture's descent into drugs, the mass exodus of fathers from her town, and rapid real-estate and technological development that foreshadow a drastically different future.

Extractions: Home Presbyterians Today Past Issues Cover Story June 2002 Anne Lamott's subversive faith By Eva Stimson Sidebars: Anne Lamott freely admits that before she said "Yes" to Jesus, her life was a mess. In some ways it still is. Her pets keep getting sick and dying. Her home office, where she has just packed up the manuscript of her latest novel — a two-year project — and mailed it off to her publisher, looks "kind of like a rummage sale." She is not sure where she stashed the curriculum for the confirmation class she is organizing for her 12-year-old son, Sam, and two other young people in the 100-member Presbyterian church where she is an elder. "I have it in the car, I think," she says, adding ruefully, "That's usually my battle cry — I have it in the car, I think." Standing in the back doorway of her cottage nestled among other smallish-size houses on a steep hillside in the San Francisco Bay-area town of Fairfax, California, Lamott greets Saturday afternoon visitors with a plaintive request for help. Her pet kitten died recently, and now Boo-Boots, her 16-year-old cat, is dying of leukemia and kidney failure.* The cat needs an injection, and is lying on a towel on an ironing board in the bedroom.

http://www.readinggroupguides.com/guides/traveling_mercies.asp

Extractions: The questions, discussion topics, and author biography that follow are designed to enhance your reading of Anne Lamott's Traveling Mercies . We hope that they will suggest a variety of ways to talk about this delightful and moving story of one woman's journey in faith. When Anne Lamott was twenty-five, her father died after a long struggle with brain cancer. Over the next few years she herself began to suffer from an overwhelming sense of desperation and fear, which she tried to suppress with alcohol and pills. Although she was managing to write and publish successful novels at the time, it was clear that her life was spinning out of control. In Traveling Mercies , a memoir that sparkles with wry wit and compassion, she now writes about this dark period of her life, and of her turnto her own great surpriseto the community of Christian faith and love she found in a neighborhood church called St. Andrew's. In a book that will be cherished by anyone who has pursued a spiritual search down all sorts of unlikely paths, grieved at the death of friends, or felt bewildered at the challenges that daily life presents to love and courage, Anne Lamott gives us a wise and often humorous account of living in faith.

http://www.readinggroupguides.com/guides3/blue_shoe1.asp

Extractions: At the beginning of Blue Shoe , Mattie Ryder thinks that life cannot get any more complicated. She is newly divorced and living with her two children in her childhood home, which is infested with rats and too many unanswered questions from her past. While the rat problem can be cured with an exterminator, coming to terms with her past will require Mattie to unravel her family secrets and learn some painful truths, especially about her father. The clues to his life are contained in a plastic bag that was recovered from the glove box of his old car. Inside are a paint key from a can of blue paint and a tiny blue rubber shoe. As Mattie comes to know it, the story of her father's world shocks her, but it also explains her mother's erratic behavior and distance while she was growing up.

Extractions: If you like Notes in the Margin, please recommend it to a friend by clicking on this button: Fiction Anne Lamott was born in San Francisco, California, in 1954, the daughter of Kenneth Lamott (a writer) and Dorothy Lamott (who later became an attorney). In addition to her novels and nonfiction books, she wrote a food column for California magazine (1988-1991) and a book review column for Mademoiselle (1990-1992), and has been a regular contributor to the online magazine Salon and to National Public Radio. The publication of Operating Instructions in 1993 brought Lamott to national prominence. Critics often use phrases such as edgy humor and caustic wit to describe her writing, both fiction and nonfiction. Much of her work, particularly her earlier pieces, contains autobiographical elements such as her childhood in a dysfunctional family and her financial and creative struggles as a writer.
