Synopsis
An inspirational primer based on the author's 2006 commencement address at Sarah Lawrence College discusses how to manage life's crossroads, recounts times of struggle from her own life, and celebrates the benefits of not knowing what is to come., The genesis of novelist Ann Patchett's bestselling book of essays was, as she tells it, a series of fortuitous events: after being invited to give a commencement speech at her alma mater, Sarah Lawrence College, Patchett showed her speech to her old writing teacher, Alan Garganus, who told her to go back to the drawing board and make the writing more personal and heartfelt; the result was a rousing success, and the speech began to be passed around as a source of inspiration to young people pondering the choices lying ahead of them in life. Now, in an extended form, and with the addition of Chip Kidd's splendid photography and design, WHAT NOW? is available to the general public. The slim, wise, humorous descriptions of Patchett's own convoluted road to success should be inspirational for anyone facing the confusions of the future.
