An Annie Dillard-style writing book that follows the writer's life as much as her philosophy about creativity and writing.

And apparently it is. ••• twice named a Best Book of 2011, Englewood Review of Books and Hearts & Minds Books *** "A few brave writers pull back the curtain to show us their creative process. Annie Dillard did this. So did Hemingway. Now L.L. Barkat has given us a thoroughly modern analysis of writing. Practical, yes, but also a gentle uncovering of the art of being a writer." --Gordon Atkinson, author Turtles All the Way Down "The real beauty of this book is the truth it teaches slant: good and beautiful and honest writing comes from a life that pursues the same. This is not just a book about writing well, it's a book about living well." --Leslie Leyland Fields, author of Surviving the Island of Grace and The Spirit of Food
