I really enjoyed this for the sheer wit and honesty. The beautifully constructed sentences were a bonus. She gives us a good look at what writers suffer through when publicly identified as writers - for example the family reunion scene alone was worth the price - but she also shares her own struggles with identity and focus, her journey from poet to novelist, and as others have pointed out, there is some very good advice for aspiring authors. All this is tightly packaged and for me, made good bedtime reading.
