Dallas Morning News: "Lamott's irony is wise and hardly ever cynical. She sees things in their twisted nakedness and embraces them. That she is able to be funny and wise about what is difficult or painful is surely powerful evidence of the same grace she finds in the people she loves; it is the good fortune of readers that she is so willing to share." |

| Details: |
"Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that hed had three months to write. It was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brothers shoulder, and said, Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.'" |
