If you have ever wondered what it requires to be an author, what it means, or what your school lunches reveal about your parents' true nature, this textbook is for you! From trust, love, and grace to anguish, envy, and terror, Lamott urges you to know what to look for and then shows you how to survive in a world full of hidden implications. The book's content always alternates between an artist's life and the basic skill of human survival.
