Anne Lamott is the New York Times bestselling author of Help, Thanks, Wow; Small Victories; Stitches; Some Assembly Required; Grace (Eventually); Plan B; Traveling Mercies; Bird by Bird; Operating Instructions, and the forthcoming Hallelujah Anyway. She is also the author of several novels, including Imperfect Birds and Rosie. A past recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and an inductee to the California Hall of Fame, she lives in Northern California.
For a quarter century, more than a million readers—scribes and scribblers of all ages and abilities—have been inspired by Anne Lamott’s hilarious, big-hearted, homespun advice. Advice that begins with the simple words of wisdom passed down from Anne’s father—also a writer—in the iconic passage that gives the book its title:
“Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he’d 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 brother’s shoulder, and said, ‘Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.’”
An essential volume for generations of writers young and old, Bird by Bird is a modern classic. This twenty-fifth anniversary edition will continue to spark creative minds for years to come.

我覺得這本書寫得不錯,不是那麼技術派的。作者自己靠寫作和教授寫作為生。作為感性的單親媽媽,她的書裏充滿瞭很多個人化的細節。如果自己也是要花很多時間投入寫作的人,應該能夠對她有共鳴。 但是我不是。總得來說,在過去的十年裏,我寫的很少。現在我在慢慢改變,因為我...
評分有多暖心呢? 舉個例子:E.L.Doctorow once said that “writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.” 寫作就像在黑夜裏開車。盡管隻能看到頭燈照到的範圍,但你能這樣走完全程...
評分關於寫作的書有很多,但美國作傢安妮•拉莫特的這本書尤為有趣。 安妮•拉莫特在這本書中用很多幽默的語句寫瞭關於寫作的方方麵麵,為什麼要寫作,寫不下去怎麼辦,沒有靈感怎麼辦......如果用一句話來迴答這些問題就是“一隻鳥接著一隻鳥,按部就班”地去寫。 一隻鳥接著...
評分我想說的是,這本書絕對是一個寶藏,它帶給你的不僅是如何寫作,更是如何生活。所以把書名的instruction譯作指南絕不過分,對,這就是一本寫作和生活指南。 摘錄瞭一些句子,稍作分類和點評,暫當做對本書的縮水版吧。但是,就像作者所說的,光靠一句話無法成為偉大的...
評分書評會在這兩周內寫完,在此先貼齣我的個人閱讀筆記,僅供參考: “ With the writer's quivalent of canvas and brush, i wrote a description of what I saw:"i walked to the lip of the water and let the foamy tongue of the rushing liquid lick my toes. A sand crab...
