She has also written several bestselling books of nonfiction, including, Operating Instructions, an account of life as a single mother during her son’s first year Some Assembly Required: A Journal of My Son's First Son and the classic book on writing Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life. She says, “I have a lot of hope and a lot of faith and I struggle to communicate that.” Anne Lamott does communicate her faith in her books and in person, she lifts, comforts, and inspires, all the while keeping us laughing.Īnne Lamott is the author of seven novels, Hard Laughter, Rosie, Joe Jones, Blue Shoe, All New People, Crooked Little Heart, and Imperfect Birds. She doesn’t try to sugar-coat the sadness, frustration and disappointment, but tells her stories with honesty, compassion and a pureness of voice. She has said that the book was “a present to someone I loved who was going to die.” In all her novels, Anne Lamott writes about loss – loss of loved ones and loss of personal control. She wrote her first novel for her father, the writer Kenneth Lamott, when he was diagnosed with brain cancer. Actually, she writes about what most of us don’t like to think about. But armed with self-effacing humor – she is laugh-out-loud funny – and ruthless honesty, Lamott converts her subjects into enchantment.
