I think that Orlean is not comfortable with memoir, and it shows. There's a lot more telling than showing, none of the shine of a top-notch creative nonfiction writer. I did appreciate the enviable details of her life as a New Yorker reporter, though ...more

A few good tips and exercises, but it felt a little slight to me. But I'm not the audience for a book that defines "metaphor" and other basic terms. Liberally illustrated with her own work. She's a very good poet and the poems were enjoyable for thems ...more

Short but dense. Morrison's lecture mode voice is uncompromising, layered, and challenging. I had to pause and deconstruct things at least once a chapter. A lot of insight into her personal choices in exploring otherness and othering in her fiction. ...more

Wow, the original play is kind of... slight? I feel there's a lot of insider knowledge needed, and perhaps lots that was made up in the spectacle on stage. Therefore, I was grateful for the inclusion in this volume of the German story that inspired t ...more
