Somehow Thoughts on Love by Anne Lamott Anne Lamott Somehow: Thoughts on Love by Anne Lamott

"The title of Anne Lamott's 20th book is also an apt descriptor of the author's extraordinary four-decade career. 'Somehow', after publishing four quiet, quirky Northern California novels between 1980 and 1989, Lamott sidestepped the fate of many authors with modest sales: beloved by few, unknown by most, destined to fade into literary oblivion. Instead, Lamott changed her genre, and her life. In 1989, single, poor, and pregnant, she had a baby on her own, sustained by the kinds of boho characters who populated her novels. In 1993, she wrote a memoir about it. Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son's First Year plucked quirky, inconoclastic Lamott out of the margins and morphed her into a best-selling author- a status cemented by her next book, the instant classic Bird by Bird" written by Meredith Maran
