Haunted by a self-doubt sharpened by his role in his brother's unexpected death, he offers wry, hilarious observations on publishing, child-rearing, parent-losing, and the writing life.

But full of effort, full of accomplishment, full of life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Tender, smart and witty, this book is truly unputdownable.\" -- \u003cem\u003eReal Simple \u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Energetic and exhilarating . . .
