A worthwhile way to spend a weekend. Like Theroux's description of reading an author, rather than a book-- I have read a lot of his work, especially his travel writing. This book has some personal details & lots of ruminations about writers he knew. I was thoroughly engrossed in these diverse pieces, culled together for this anthology from so many different works & places.

A thick meaty book. From a non MFA person like me, this felt like a nice, DIY MFA. I have always loved the Russian writers whom I read when I was much too young and this reminded me why it is important to read Chekov, Tolstoy, Gogol and Turgenev.

Useful to consider the many points in structuring essays that he makes which are somewhat contrary to conventional writing advice. Easy words to read.

A short book of essays explaining one's roots and literary influences is a perfect book for a bibliophile like me who lives many lives in other people's words. What I appreciated was the democratic approach to reading that Ann Hood has- she talks about Harold Robbins to Boris Pasternak. The writing flows easy and you see the author and her influences. An enjoyable read as well as a quick one.
