Description
How do you prepare yourself, all alone, to enter an extraordinary state on an ordinary morning?
In The Writing Life, Pulitzer Prize winning author Annie Dillard offers up her own trials in the pursuit of the absurdity, the fierce determination and the sacrifices (warm feet; gainful employment; peace of mind). Her perennial guide, which wrestles with the hubris and insanity of the creative process, has been an inspiration and a comfort to writers for nearly forty years.
