Thank you to all who attended and supported our 30th Annual Spring Luncheon with Bestselling Novelist and Essayist, Anne Lamott!
Anne Lamott writes and speaks about what most of us don’t like to think about. She doesn’t try to sugarcoat the sadness, frustration and disappointment, but tells her stories with honesty, compassion and a pureness of voice. She’s armed with self-effacing humor – she is laugh-out-loud funny.
Anne is the author of seven novels, Hard Laughter, Rosie, Joe Jones, Blue Shoe, All New People, Crooked Little Heart, and Imperfect Birds. She has also written several bestselling books of nonfiction, including, Operating Instructions, an account of life as a single mother during her son’s first year; Some Assembly Required: A Journal of My Son’s First Son; and the classic book on writing; Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life. Anne has also authored several collections of autobiographical essays on faith.
Currently, Anne is a columnist for the Washington Post and working on her next book in collaboration with her husband, Neal Allen. She also has a new podcast series titled The Big Questions, available exclusively on the Ritual App.
Funds raised will support The Woman’s Board Endowed Fund for Research and Clinical Trials at Rush.
