Free: Best-Selling Author Anne Lamott To Speak At County Library

Best-selling author Anne Lamott will speak at 7 p.m., Saturday at St. Louis County Library Headquarters as part of the library’s 2012 Read St. Louis Memoir Selection series.

According to the library’s website:

In “Some Assembly Required,” Anne Lamott enters a new and unexpected chapter of her own life: grandmotherhood. Stunned to learn that her son, Sam, is about to become a father at nineteen, Lamott begins a journal about the first year of her grandson Jax’s life. By turns poignant and funny, honest and touching, “Some Assembly Required” is the true story of how the birth of a baby changes a family.

Lamott’s 1995 “Bird By  Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life” was a national bestseller as were “Grace (Eventually),” “Plan B” and “Operating Instructions.” She has also authored seven novels.

Lamott’s co-author and son, Sam Lamott, will appear with her on Saturday.
