Reseña del editor:

Cherry's essays touch upon such themes as literary enthusiasm, American literary culture since the 1960s, feminism, cultural diversity, and the inspiring work of contemporary women writers, from Bobbie Ann Mason to Mary Ward Brown. The collection ends with an autobiographical essay reflecting on the author's own career, including her study with such luminaries as George Garrett and Fred Chappell. Serious yet often laced with humor, Girl in a Library is both poignant and surprising. It will appeal to aspiring and accomplished writers, to readers interested in women's writing, Southern literary culture, and more broadly, to those who love books and reading.

Nota de la solapa:

Poet, memoirist, fiction writer, and critic Cherry has assembled a lissome and winning retrospective collection of essays on writing, reading, and life....Piquant essays on family history and her coming-of-age are deepened by reflections on beauty, art, and vocation. In fresh and inquiring portraits of exceptional southern women writers––Eudora Welty, Elizabeth Hardwick, Mary Ward Brown, Bobbie Ann Mason—Cherry explores the nature of a literary life.—Donna Seaman, Booklist (starred review) Cherry explores the craft of writing, tracing her own development from rebellious college student to award-winning author of 19 books... Cherry's story will prove inspirational to aspiring writers as will her critical essays.—Library Journal
