Anne Lamott
Beloved for her enchanting, lyrical writing,\xa0Anne Lamott\xa0takes on the most complex, intimate parts of life with grace and precision. Lamott\u2019s novels and memoirs have be awarded some of the most sought-after literary prizes, and her collection of essays on writing,\xa0Bird By Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life, has become required reading for all authors.\xa0Her new book, Somehow: Thoughts on Love, delves into the struggles of love with her trademark honesty and humor, finding the transformative power of intimate relationships. Lamott\u2019s faith and candor, perfected across her long career in literature, are on display as she discusses finding love late in life, the changing ways we love our children, and the ways love can keep us going in a painful world.\xa0 On April 13, 2024, Anne Lamott came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to be interviewed on stage by Barbara Lane, the book columnist at the\xa0San Francisco Chronicle\xa0and the current director of events at Copperfield Books.
