Joyride

JOYRIDE written and read by Susan Orlean

Susan Orlean, New Yorker columnist and the woman who brought inventiveness into creative nonfiction books, shows her perfect sense of timing in both the writing and the reading of her memoir,JOYRIDE. Using the same thoughtful detailing and pithy wit with which she described a wide range of people and places, Orlean now turns the lens inward, discussing her life and her most extraordinary relationship with the creative process. Orlean reveals stories behind her books and articles in a way that illustrates everything from idea formation to meeting deadlines. While her memoir relates highs and lows of life and writing, her reading welcomes listeners with warmth and exhibits the delight of immersing herself in wondering. More of a professional than personal memoir, this book will be particularly meaningful to writers. You can find out more about this book and audio at the purchase link below.
