Description
A fierce, and funny memoir of how the New York Times-bestselling author embraced her creativity - and how it saved her
I Came All This Way to Meet You is a love story; it shows us a way to love art and our lives and our souls...It's Eat Pray Love for Nick Cave fans.
A wise and witty glimpse behind the travels and travails of one of our most beloved contemporary novelists ... brims with humor, humility, pathos, and intelligence. I gulped down every page and finished sated, as if I'd spent a long weekend with a dear friend.
Jami Attenberg is undoubtedly a writer's writer and a phenomenal talent ... The book is an embrace. It is a love letter to work and to friendship. I Came All This Way to Meet You is a compelling literary treasure and Attenberg is a real wonder.
This stunning work explores home not solely as geographic place, but really a mobile metaphor for the relationships we consistently run to and away from. Jami Attenberg cements her place as one of our greatest, most agile writers.
I Came All This Way to Meet You gives a generous and captivating glimpse into Jami Attenberg's work, intellect, and heart. A must not just for fans of her fiction but for anyone who wonders: 'why write, and how?
Honest, generous and propulsive. I loved it
Illuminating... made me feel like I'd found a kindred spirit.
Whipsmart ... Prepare to be inspired.
Comic and very human ... a brilliant reminder that being unsure, leading a messy life and, above all, trusting yourself to get where you need to go, can apply to us all
Not your average writer's memoir, this one takes in wanderlust, independence and the creative life
Marvellous... I laughed out loud
Deeply personal accounts of failure and sadness and how she found her voice as a writer ... Moving
I have always enjoyed [Jami Attenberg's] deceptively simple writing. Actually it's undeceptively simply. She has a voice that doesn't pretend to be cleverer or weaker than you.
Jami Attenberg is the New York Times best-selling author of seven books of fiction, including The Middlesteins and All This Could Be Yours. She has contributed essays to the New York Times Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, the Sunday Times, and the Guardian, among other publications. She lives in New Orleans.
