She has also written four bestselling works of nonfiction: PLAN B (2005) and TRAVELING MERCIES (1999), collections of autobiographical essays on faith; BIRD BY BIRD (1994), a guide to writing and the challenges of a writer's life; and OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (1993), an account of life as a single mother during her son's first year. Lamott's online column in Salon magazine was voted the Best of the Web by Newsweek . In praise of that column, The New Yorker wrote, "The noted author, single mom, and cranky Christian has grown into her role as virtual diarist and reality checker. Lamott is refreshingly non-cyber and she can make you laugh and cry in the space of a few paragraphs." A past recipient of a Guggenheim fellowship, Lamott has taught at the University of California at Davis and at writing conferences across the country. She is also the subject of a 1999 documentary by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Freida Mock, "Bird by Bird with Annie." She lives in northern California. Lamott wrote her first novel for her father, the writer Kenneth Lamott, when he was diagnosed with brain cancer. She has said that the book was "a present to someone I loved who was going to die." Loss — of people and personal control — is a persistent theme in Lamott's work, as is her reluctant but fervent embrace of Christianity. I have a lot of hope and a lot of faith and I struggle to communicate that," she says.

'Shoe' Fits Real life and writing craft come together in Anne Lamott's 'Blue Shoe' By Jessica Neuman Beck Anne Lamott needs to write my memoirs. I'd do it myself, but the character of me wouldn't come out nearly as well. Lamott has a talent for taking the mishmash of good, bad and ugly that makes up the human spirit and portraying it with such bald kindness that you can't help but feel an instant affection for her characters. Her latest novel, Blue Shoe (Riverhead Books, 336 pages, $14 paper), is the story of one such beautifully flawed person. Mattie has just gone through a divorce and has moved into her childhood home with her two small children. "The leaves of the delicate Japanese maple between Mattie's window and the wobbly fence were still green, but elsewhere in the garden were russets and butterscotch-oranges, other trees giddy with color, almost garish, like gypsy dresses. When she strained to listen, she could almost imagine them saying, We gave you shade, and now we'll give you a little kick-ass beauty before we die." Mattie isn't the sympathetic single mom character from sitcom-land we all know and love. She's angry a lot. She sleeps with her ex-husband, even though she knows it's not good for either of them. She thinks really unpleasant things about her mother.

12. Seattle Arts & Lectures - Grace Paley & Anne Lamott Anne Lamott is a writer of extraordinary candor and irreverent wit, making her way through several forbidden doors in her novels. She has tackled alcoholism http://www.lectures.org/paley.html

5th Avenue Theatre November 17, 1997 Biographies Excerpts Selected Works Links Biographies Grace Paley grew up in the Bronx, surrounded by boisterous street life and the idioms of Russian and Yiddish. Her parents, Russian Jewish immigrants, were both committed socialists. Since childhood, Paley had written poetry, characterized by its humor, irony, use of dialogue, and look of spontaneity. In her mid-30s, however, she began to feel stirred by something new-the urge to tell stories. An editor at Doubleday read three of Paley's earliest short stories and encouraged her to continue writing. That collection became the first of three volumes: Little Disturbances of Man, Enormous Changes at the Last Minute, and Later the Same Day. These were gathered in 1994's The Collected Stories and nominated for a National Book Award. Deeply dedicated to human rights and antimilitarist issues, Paley is also known for her political activism. A self-described "combative pacifist and cooperative anarchist," Paley fills her stories with conversational voices, many of them ethnic, echoing the sounds of her youth and the personal stories of women and children. Her writing details ordinary people, congregating on porch steps and in kitchens—the flashes of everyday life. Her stories begin with language, in the resonance of an isolated sentence.

19. Anne Lamott Born in San Francisco, anne lamott is the author of five novels and three works of nonfiction, and the recipient of a Guggenheim fellowship. http://www.randomhouse.com/vintage/read/traveling/lamott.html

A note from Anne Lamott I started to realize that there was a great hunger and thirst for regular, cynical, ragbag people to talk about God and goodness and virtue in a tone that didn't frighten and upset you, or make you feel that you were doing even more poorly than you'd thought. Once I turned my mind to this, all of these stories, moments and connections started appearing to me. When I told them to peopleto readers or to friendsthey were almost relieved. It was so great to start comparing notes about this faith of ours, to be funny and sarcastic and attitudinally challenged about it, and still be people who could be devoted to God. We no longer had to feel that we were crazy or self-righteous or losers, or pathetic for having that faith. We were just maybe a little different. Soon all kinds of people starting giving me soul food in the form of stories, insights, feedback, great lines, jokes and bumper stickers, and I started to put that soul food back into circulation. And because a lot of this material we were sharing comes from our most human and private and real and vulnerable places, it turns out to be both unbelievably funny and very, very touching. So I don't think of Traveling Mercies as a book about religion at all, but rather as a handbook, or maybe a sort of owner's manual, for people who are trying to live faithfully: which is to say, learning to cooperate with graceeven (or especially) when real life rears its very confusing head. It's a book about some of us whosurprising even ourselvescame to believe in a loving God who is with us alwayseven on bad thigh days, even in the midst of homework wars with our childrena God who does not roll His or Her eyes at us even when we are trying to buy cars, or date, who does not forsake us, even when we whine, or are bad to each other. It is about my experiences with a God who loves me, chooses me, forgives me, every step of the amazing way.

When I recently called Anne Lamott—the funny, nutty, fast-talking, born-again author whose books include Bird by Bird Operating Instructions Traveling Mercies , and most recently Blue Shoe —the same earthy candor came through. To be sure, Lamott is a hard-core liberal. I disagree with her on many fronts, for example with her belief that personhood doesn't start at conception. Yet, deeper within her than her loud liberalism is a reality that has won her many evangelical readers: a zany ardor for Jesus. Lamott's fascination with all things Jesusy Let me count the ways.
