Product DescriptionNATIONAL BESTSELLER The acclaimed author of Bird by Bird brings her brilliant combination of humor and warmth to a "smart, funny, and comforting" chronicle of single motherhood (Los Angeles Times Book Review).Its not like shes the only woman to ever have a baby. At thirty-five. On her own. But Anne Lamott makes it all fresh in her now-classic account of how she and her son and numerous friends and neighbors and some strangers survived and thrived in that all important first year. From finding out that her baby is a boy (and getting used to the idea) to finding out that her best friend and greatest supporter Pam will die of cancer (and not getting used to that idea), with a generous amount of wit and faith (but very little piousness), Lamott narrates the great and small events that make up a womans life."Lamott is a wonderfully lithe writer . Anyone who has ever had a hard time facing a perfectly ordinary day will identify." -Chicago TribuneReviewAn enormous triumph. . . . Charming. . . . Powerful. . . .

Lamott has a conversational style that perfectly conveys her friendly, self-deprecating humor. -Los Angeles Times Book ReviewLamott is a wonderfully lithe writer. . . . Anyone who has ever had a hard time facing a perfectly ordinary day will identify. -Chicago TribuneFirst class all the way. . . .

Even non-parents will enjoy this glowing work. -Publishers WeeklyLamott here shares her humor, faith, friendships, and irreverence. . . . Operating Instructions is enhanced by Lamotts colorful and expressive language, her philosophical reflections, and her descriptions of many eccentric friends. -Library JournalOne need not be a new parent to appreciate Lamotts glib and gritty good humor in the face of annihilating weariness. Shell nourish fans with her entries, and give birth to new ones as well. -Kirkus ReviewsPainfully honest, laced with humor and poetry and moments of profound insight. It captures the intense fluctuations of feeling, the rapid alternation of exhilaration and fury, love and despair, that characterizes new parenthood. -San Francisco ExaminerFrom the Back CoverIt seems no mother of a newborn has ever been more hilarious, more honest, or more touching than Ann Lamott is in OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. A single parent whose baby's father is out of the picture, Lamott struggles not only to support her little family by her wits and her writing, but to stay sober at the same time. Faith in God helps; so does her loyal band of helpers, from her childless best friend Pammy to her mother and "Aunt Dudu" to the folks at the La Leche League hotline. And between colic, wheat-free diets, and the triumph of solid food, Lamott learns that blessings and losses come together, and that as our capacity for joy increases, so does our capacity for grief."An enormous triumph . . . Charming . . . Powerful . . . A gracious book, with dozens of lovingly drawn characters and a deep, infectious religiosity throughout. It is also funny." -- San Francisco Chronicle"Smart, funny and comforting . . . Lamott has a conversational style that perfectly conveys her friendly, self-deprecating humor." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review"From the Trade Paperback edition.About the AuthorANNE LAMOTT is the author of the New York Times bestsellers Almost Everything; Hallelujah Anyway; Help, Thanks, Wow; Small Victories; Stitches; Some Assembly Required; Grace (Eventually); Plan B; Traveling Mercies; and Operating Instructions.
