Rezensionen

Superb writing advice. . . . Hilarious, helpful, and provocative.
The New York Times Book Review

A warm, generous, and hilarious guide through the writer s world and its treacherous swamps.
Los Angeles Times

One of the funniest books on writing ever published.
The Christian Science Monitor

A gift to all of us mortals who write or ever wanted to write. . . . Sidesplittingly funny, patiently wise and alternately cranky and kind a reveille to get off our duffs and start writing now, while we still can.
Seattle Times

Bird by Bird would be worth reading just for Lamott s ele- gant, moving, and often-hilarious prose. But the advice she offers is just as fantastic as the style with which it s delivered.
Forbes

Anne Lamott understands better than anyone that writers need help. . . . She writes so well, in fact, that it s hard to believe that she, too, has trouble with writing. That s what s so deeply comforting about this book.
The Wall Street Journal

Deftly and honestly explores the mental challenges of being a writer. . . . Lamott s advice is, simply put, invaluable.
Bustle

[Lamott] uses her writing exercises or lessons as a way to help us more deeply understand ourselves and the human condition in all its messiness. If you re looking for sense-making and meaning during this deeply destabilizing time, this book is timeless.
Elise Hu, TED Talks Daily

Delight[s] with insight and descriptive acumen. This humorous, insightful, no-nonsense approach will remind novices why they are writing.
Kirkus Reviews

Offers unique inspiration. . . . An honest appraisal of what it takes to be a writer and why it matters so much.
Library Journal
