Word by Word with Anne Lamott Dave Weich , Powells.com Lamott's readers will attest that she writes cleaner than she's lived. Her younger, occasionally reckless years are documented at length in Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son's First Year (one of very few end-of-the-century works included on the Modern Library's list of the 1900s best nonfiction) and Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith San Francisco Chronicle points out, "Anne Lamott is walking proof that a person can be both reverent and irreverent in the same lifetime. Sometimes even in the same breath." Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life so thoroughly mixes the one with the other that you forget how they ever seemed distinct. For my money it's the best guide to writing around. Now

Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life Author Info: Anne Lamott Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he'd had three months to write, which was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother's shoulder, and said, "Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird." -Anne Lamott Bird by Bird I'm not sure how long it was on the air, but for at least five years, Roseanne Barr's show was one of the most popular TV series in America. Meanwhile, I personally would have only tuned in to watch her be fed, piece by large piece, into a woodchipper. So I recognize the frequent possibility, even likelihood, that I am significantly out of step with popular opinion. But let me say this, Bird by Bird , a memoir of the writing life by Anne Lamott reads as if it was written by Ms Barr. Ms Lamott too is screechy, self-pitying, profane, and profoundly annoying. She is one of those people who has made a complete hash of her own lifealcoholic, drug addict, bulimic, single mother, born again but calls God, Her, all the timetherefore, thinks that life is really difficult in general and that her's is especially trying, and for some reason thinks that we should all hear about it and that we have something to learn from her.

Home Presbyterians Today Past Issues Cover Story June 2002 Anne Lamott's subversive faith By Eva Stimson Sidebars: Reading List The little church on life support 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.

Popular writer Lamott has skills of a stand-up comedian July 30, 1995 Elisabeth Sherwin gizmo@ dcn.davis.ca.us Sure, we expected an interesting lecture on writing when Marin County's Anne Lamott spoke at UC Davis earlier this month. Lamott is the author of "Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life" (Pantheon, 1994, $21). But most of the people at the Alumni and Visitors' Center probably didn't realize they'd also be hearing from a stand-up comedian. The packed room was filled with laughter as Lamott told war stories and shared writing tips. She began by reading an essay on jealousy from "Bird by Bird." "If you continue to write," she warns her readers, "you are probably going to have to deal with it, because some wonderful, dazzling successes are going to happen for some of the most awful, angry, undeserving writers you know - people who are, in other words, not you." "Jealousy is one of the occupational hazards of being a writer, and the most degrading. Bank on it. And I, who have been the Leona Helmsley of jealousy, have come to believe that the only things that help ease or transform it are (a) getting older, (b) talking about it until the fever breaks and (c) using it as material. Also, someone somewhere along the line is going to be able to make you start laughing about it and then you will be on your way home." Still, she's been sorely tried. Like the time a writer friend of hers called and said: " I don't know why God has given me so much money this year." She swears that's an absolute direct quote. How is a human being (who's a little short of cash) supposed to respond to a statement like that?

My Word's Worth: a weekly column by Marylaine Block vol. 2 #42, May 30, 1997 WITHOUT SKIN I thought of the lamp that was not plugged in to anything; then of the boy who looked like Pig Pen, blinky and dense, then of Linus and Schroeder, of the ferocity and poignancy of our illusions. You think a blanket will protect you? That you are really making lovely music on a toy piano? But the blanket did protect Linus; and Schroeder does play beautifully; and maybe more than anything, they keep at it. They believe. Anne Lamott. "The Gospel According to Pigpen" Salon Magazine, May 8, 1997 They say you can tell a lot about somebody by finding out who they admire. I want to tell you about a writer who fills me with admiration and envy, the woman I would like to be when I grow downAnne Lamott. I've mentioned her online diary, "Word by Word," in Salon Magazine , which I read without fail. I have now finished reading two of her books, her most recent novel, Crooked Little Heart , and a book about how to write, called Bird by Bird , and I am struck anew by her understanding of our messy lives, our jealousies and spitefulness, our pain, and our moments of startling joy.
