Her early life experiences revolved around her father, a writer and his friends. Her first successful foray into writing was a poem about John Glenn, written in second grade. In high school, she was sought out for her listening skills, and her ability to take the stories she was told and bring them to live in the re-telling. She admits, however, to being a terrible writer at first. Lamott is a single mother, and her writing is more than just about the art of writingit's about the art of life. It is honest, funny, touching, and real. Random Quote from Anne Lamott "It [writing] is a matter of persistence and faith and hard work. So you might as well just go ahead and get started."

Hendricks) Fiction 326 pages Doubleday Books Reading Anne Lamott's nonfiction is like talking to the ultimate sinner-turned-Christian. She's still rough around the edges and doesn't think that's a problem. In one sentence she swears and the next she marvels at Jesus. It's a little hard to handle for some, refreshing for others. Reading Anne Lamott's fiction is like trying a digestible version of the liberal Jesus freak. She writes about life directly and faith indirectly in a very approachable manner. She tells stories anyonechurched and unchurchedcan understand and appreciate. Crooked Little Heart is the story of a young girl becoming a teenager and her mother trying to cope, trying to accept the death of her husband and the fact that her child is now a young woman. It sounds all touchy-feely, but then the mother, Elizabeth, swears and cries and tries so hard and the young girl, Rosie, turns red with embarrassment and says their family is like a family you'd buy at a garage sale. Throw in a New Age friend who finds Jesus in the most natural and believable way, and you have the most realistic novel with Christian themes I've read in a while.

Random House Related Guides Blue Shoe Traveling Mercies by Anne Lamott List Price: Pages: Format: Paperback ISBN: Publisher: Anchor Books 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.

Related Guides Traveling Mercies Penguin Putnam Read a Review Blue Shoe by Anne Lamott List Price: Pages: Format: Paperback ISBN: Publisher: Riverhead Books 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. What she learns will help Mattie come to peace with her own life as she finds love with a man with whom she can have an intimate and honest relationship, and accepts the emotional baggage that she carries as a part of herself instead of a burden. Blue Shoe is an honest, irreverent and compelling story laced with self-deprecating humor, grace, and wit. As always, Anne Lamott creates characters with whom we can identify, as she explores the depths of human emotion.

66. Seattle Arts & Lectures - Grace Paley & Anne Lamott anne lamott is a writer of extraordinary candor and irreverent wit, making her way through several forbidden doors in her novels. http://www.lectures.org/paley.html

5th Avenue Theatre November 17, 1997 Biographies Excerpts Selected Works Links Biographies Grace Paley grew up in the Bronx, surrounded by boisterous street life and the idioms of Russian and Yiddish. Her parents, Russian Jewish immigrants, were both committed socialists. Since childhood, Paley had written poetry, characterized by its humor, irony, use of dialogue, and look of spontaneity. In her mid-30s, however, she began to feel stirred by something new-the urge to tell stories. An editor at Doubleday read three of Paley's earliest short stories and encouraged her to continue writing. That collection became the first of three volumes: Little Disturbances of Man, Enormous Changes at the Last Minute, and Later the Same Day. These were gathered in 1994's The Collected Stories and nominated for a National Book Award. Deeply dedicated to human rights and antimilitarist issues, Paley is also known for her political activism. A self-described "combative pacifist and cooperative anarchist," Paley fills her stories with conversational voices, many of them ethnic, echoing the sounds of her youth and the personal stories of women and children. Her writing details ordinary people, congregating on porch steps and in kitchens—the flashes of everyday life. Her stories begin with language, in the resonance of an isolated sentence.

68. Great Insights Can Be Learned From Her Errors Which may explain why I had a little trouble with anne lamott. I ve been reading her latest book, Traveling Mercies Some Thoughts on Faith. . http://www.freep.com/news/metro/qdes22.htm

COLUMNISTS Susan Ager Desiree Cooper Brian Dickerson ... Rochelle Riley SECTIONS Today's stories Metro Wayne Oakland ... Place an ad (none) Great insights can be learned from her errors March 22, 1999 The last thing I want to do is learn from someone as screwed up as I am. I want someone who has a Franklin Planner the size of the Oxford English Dictionary to teach me about organization. I want someone who hasn't had a chocolate bar in 30 years to talk to me about nutrition. And I only want someone whose life is the model of enlightenment to talk to me about salvation. Which may explain why I had a little trouble with Anne Lamott. I've been reading her latest book, "Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith." It's full of great insights about how to apply faith in the little places in life like how not to hate the parent of a kid in your child's class who actually bakes the cupcakes she brings in, looks eternally youthful and has the nerve to offer to help you raise your child. Or how to love your hair again. Or how to recognize that your mother who is driving you up the wall with her frailties is actually the incarnation of the divine. Amazing stuff. Except that I couldn't understand how Lamott could lead people to a spiritual life when hers has been one big mess. In her book, the 44-year-old Californian shares her struggles with alcohol and drug addiction. She tells of her fight to overcome bulimia. She's a single parent whose abandonment complex keeps her from finding a life partner. She's afraid that her moles will turn into the kind of cancer that killed her father, that her butt is too big.

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.

Anne Lamott Writer Periodically, we will check in with writer Anne Lamott as she plods along through her current project, writing a book on "faith". Anne explains that the process generally doesn’t feel like a forward progression. She has highs and lows with her work, moves circularly at times, but ultimately accumulates a collection of writings that will become a book. Anne is the author of many books including the non-fiction works "Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son’s First Year", "Bird by Bird: Some Instructions On Writing And Life" and "Crooked Little Heart". She currently writes a column for Salon Magazine on the Internet. To find the writings that Anne talked about on today’s show, look for her two essays "A bad thing happened at the beach" and "Rehearsing my own last day on earth" in the archives of Salon Magazine

Books Index San Francisco MetroActive Central Archives Rainy Daze: Anne Lamott's drippy sentiments make her the Martha Stewart of the maudlin set. Anti-Lamott By Paulina Borsook When I was 17, I spent a summer in Marin County, where as often as I could I'd wander into Tiburon, to rejoice in the views of the bay. I was an au pair for my sister who lived in Mill Valley, and I spent a lot of time in the tree-shaded public library of that bohemian burb. It was there I found a book that made me feel less alone, written by someone named Lamott, a book which spoke exactly to where I was and how I was feeling, confused and despairing. It was startling in its candor and it got me shaking my head and saying "So true, so true" as I went along reading it. What courage the author had, to write what so many people feel but never have the nerve to say! Kenneth Lamott, this remarkable writer was. The book was Anti-California and it spoke lyrical hard truths with a strong personal writerly voice. It never occurred to me that today's "West Coast Live" regular, Salon columnist, best-selling professional single-mom-and-Christian Anne Lamott could have been any relation to this man who so moved me 25 years ago. Could such a tough-minded dad have created such a tender-minded daughter?

'Shoe' Fits Real life and writing craft come together in Anne Lamott's 'Blue Shoe' By Jessica Neuman Beck Anne Lamott needs to write my memoirs. I'd do it myself, but the character of me wouldn't come out nearly as well. Lamott has a talent for taking the mishmash of good, bad and ugly that makes up the human spirit and portraying it with such bald kindness that you can't help but feel an instant affection for her characters. Her latest novel, Blue Shoe (Riverhead Books, 336 pages, $14 paper), is the story of one such beautifully flawed person. Mattie has just gone through a divorce and has moved into her childhood home with her two small children. "The leaves of the delicate Japanese maple between Mattie's window and the wobbly fence were still green, but elsewhere in the garden were russets and butterscotch-oranges, other trees giddy with color, almost garish, like gypsy dresses. When she strained to listen, she could almost imagine them saying, We gave you shade, and now we'll give you a little kick-ass beauty before we die." Mattie isn't the sympathetic single mom character from sitcom-land we all know and love. She's angry a lot. She sleeps with her ex-husband, even though she knows it's not good for either of them. She thinks really unpleasant things about her mother.

Anne Lamott, Traveling Mercies (Pantheon, 1999) Traveling Mercies is a collection of short pieces, many of which appeared previously in Lamott's column for the online magazine Salon . Lamott's spirituality is the tie that binds them together, and her faith is at once down to earth and uplifting. The introductory section of the book is called "Overture: Lily Pads," and in describing her circuitous route to belief she writes that it was "... a series of staggers from what seemed like one safe place to another. Like lily pads, round and green, these places summoned and then held me up while I grew." She describes growing up in a nonreligious family and how her exposure to different faiths is through the practices of her friends' families. In college, she is attracted to Judaism; while she doesn't convert formally, her Jewish friends hold a bat mitzvah for her. Later, living on her own in a houseboat in Sausalito, she is drawn to a small, funky Presbyterian church where she begins to hang out, listening in the doorway but leaving before the sermon. She writes that while she believed in God, she was not ready for Christianity, saying: "Mine was a patchwork God, sewn together from bits of rag and ribbon, Eastern and Western, pagan and Hebrew, everything but the kitchen sink and Jesus."
