“[Lamott’s] crisp writing and self-deprecating honesty ring
charmingly true.”—People
“[Some Assembly Required is] full of Lamott’s trademark neurotic
spirituality, and it’s one Lamott’s fans will want.”—The Washington
Post
“Wonderful . . . [with] Lamott’s trademark sharp wit
and self-deprecating humor . . . Like so many of
Lamott’s books, [Some Assembly Required] leaves readers with new
insights.”—The Associated Press
“[Lamott’s] typical combination of astuteness and
wit . . . As always, Lamott’s ‘raggedy faith’ is
central to her, and whether you share her concerns or not, you
appreciate her candor.”—NPR
“The story of one year in a woman’s life, a year that happens to
include the arrival of a blanket-bundled gift for Lamott and her
longtime readers.”—San Francisco Chronicle
“[Some Assembly Required] highlights the trademark humor we've come
to expect from Lamott, with laugh-out-loud one-liners that are both
self-deprecating and wise … a welcome addition in the larger Gospel
of Lamott.”
—Minneapolis Star Tribune
“Funny, insightful, irreverent…filled with humor and the author's
quirky faith…Bound to do for grandmothers what the earlier book did
for mothers — bring them insight and sanity in the midst of
chaos.”
—The Denver Post
“Anne Lamott’s singular gift for bringing readers into the intimate
circle of her life flows effortlessly in this new memoir, mixing
the absurd and sublime with her usual alchemical genius…you’ll be
seduced by the darkly comic tone, self-deprecating wit, and
relentless honesty; she somehow makes the bumps and joys of her
life intensely relatable. She can capture the bliss and beauty of
tiny emotional events in a few perfect words, then skewer her own
worst impulses with brutal hilarity.”
