Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life - Book review and discussionMonday, October 26, 2020 at 4:00 PM until 5:30 PMEastern Daylight Time UTC -04:00Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life Book review and discussion Dr. Bob Hanley Monday, 10/26 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM $10.00Lamott begins Bird by Bird with an introduction describing her lifelong love of books and her father's influence on her life and writing. Although she often wished that her father had a "regular" job like other fathers, she gradually began to realize that being a writer was the best job for him. She eventually followed in his footsteps. At an early age, Lamott realized that she possessed an uncanny ability to write engaging and often funny stories. But even with this ability, she was not an instant success as a writer. When her father falls ill with brain cancer, she was inspired to write about her family's struggles. Her father's agent accepted her manuscript, which was eventually published, and Lamott has worked as a writer ever since. She wrote Bird by Bird in order to share with the reader everything she knows about writing.
