Personal Memoirs. HTML:<p>The <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>State of Wonder</i>, <i>Run</i>, and <i>Bel Canto</i> creates a resonant portrait of a life in this collection of writings on love, friendship, work, and art.</p> <p>"The tricky thing about being a writer, or about being any kind of artist, is that in addition to making art you also have to make a living." Bringing her narrative gifts to bear on her own life, Ann Patchett uses insight and compassion to turn very personal experiences into stories that will resonate with every listener. These essays twine to create both a portrait of life and a philosophy of life. Obstacles that at first appear insurmountable—scaling a six-foot wall in order to join the Los Angeles Police Department, opening an independent bookstore, and sitting down to write a novel—are eventually mastered with quiet tenacity and a sheer force of will. An irresistible blend of literature and memoir, <i>This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage</i> is a unique examination of the heart, mind, and soul of one of our most revered and gifted writers.</p>.
