About this listen

With color, irony, and sensitivity, Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Dillard illuminates the dedication, absurdity, and daring that is the writer’s life. As it probes and exposes, examines and analyzes, The Writing Life offers deeper insight into one of the most mysterious of professions.

Unbeatable

Short and manageable. Writing metaphors amaze. This book isn't like a maze that needs to be completed but opened repeatedly to re-read or listen again, and then let a new excited world of words mentor the rest of you. Brilliant! - Arvind Passey - Blog: www.passey.info
