Nonetheless, it is her hope, wit, and authenticity that resonate most in all of her work.
Armed with a lot of charm, and a comic’s sense of timing, journalist, novelist and short-story author Elizabeth Gilbert is one of those few writers who writes the way she talks, and talks the way she writes—with intelligence, wit and undeniable quirkiness. Her most recent memoir, Eat, Pray, Love, chronicles the year she spent traveling around the world in search of personal restoration after a difficult divorce.

A National Book Award and National Book Critics Circle Award finalist, Gilbert is “a top-notch journalist and ... (more)fiction writer” (Booklist) who effectively draws on intellectualism and pop culture, seriousness and ribald humor, to strike an engagingly subtle comic balance – proving that like her characters, she goes, “beyond the boundaries of cultural expectations to claim a life on her own terms” (St. Louis Dispatch).

Combine with…
What?Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary? A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly. Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above? A: Yes you can. Q: I know an author is separate, but some infernal idiot keeps combining them. Can I take a name off the combination list? A: Yes you can. Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not. Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author? A: No authors. Q: I am the infernal idiot and I'm right! A: Take it to the Combiners group.Q: What if this author is really two authors? A: We're working on a solution, but if you want you can post a brief disambiguation notice in the Common Knowledge section. Become a member to do this. |
