"It is, simply, a beautiful book. Beautiful in its lucid, limpid eloquence; in the remarkable wisdom about human nature it displays; and in its delicious cocktail of sarcastic humor, disarming candor, and face-slapping intelligence . . . This gathering of her thoughts speaks to anyone for whom the written word is one of life's primary joys."
--Brad Hooper, Booklist starred review
"In this collection of wry and poised autobiographical essays, most previously unpublished, National Book Award winner Gilchrist (Victory Over Japan, etc.) is disarmingly direct . . . Gilchrist's droll, optimistic and seasoned voice is irresistible. A final series of pithy essays focuses on her adaptation to academia late in life; she enthralls with witty, tender observations of her writing students' progress. Gilchrist's love of life, her tireless work ethic and her self-assured sense of fun and folly shine in this vital and inspiring collection."
