As a writer of provocative poems and stories, she has encountered success along with snark: one critic dismissed her as \"Charles Bukowski in a sundress.\" (\"Why not Walt Whitman in a sparkly tutu?\" she muses.) Now, in this utterly original memoir in essays, she opens up to chronicle the joys and indignities in the life of a writer wandering through middle age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAddonizio vividly captures moments of inspiration at the writing desk (or bed) and adventures on the road--from a champagne-and-vodka-fueled one-night stand at a writing conference to sparsely attended readings at remote Midwestern colleges. Her crackling, unfiltered wit brings colorful life to pieces like \"What Writers Do All Day,\" \"How to Fall for a Younger Man,\" and \"Necrophilia\" (that is, sexual attraction to men who are dead inside). And she turns a tender yet still comic eye to her family: her father, who sparked her love of poetry; her mother, a former tennis champion who struggled through Parkinson's at the end of her life; and her daughter, who at a young age chanced upon some erotica she had written for \u003ci\u003ePenthouse\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt once intimate and outrageous, Addonizio's memoir radiates all the wit and heartbreak and ever-sexy grittiness that her fans have come to love--and that new readers will not soon forget.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kim Addonizio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44913341071429,"sku":"BS-LIB-128465","price":24.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2482\/2494\/files\/9780143128465-HD.jpg?v=1777059256","url":"https:\/\/libros787.com\/en\/products\/bukowski-in-a-sundress-confessions-from-a-writing-life","provider":"Libros787.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
