Reflections Of A Writer's Life, Joseph Torra, ponders his thirty plus years as a poet, novelist, editor, publisher, and teacher. With both pathos and humor, Torra discusses the challenges he has faced as an author, husband, parent--and, as a person who struggles with bipolar disease. He shares stories and insights on: growing up in a working class Italian-American Boston suburb, literary and other artists who have influenced him, painting, music, addiction, the publishing scene--past and present--as well as the importance of mentorships and community. Who Do You Think You Are?, a courageous and frank portrait of an author, benefits all readers who hope to pursue an artistic career of any form. \"Torra's characters speak in an almost poetic cadence,\" said Boston Magazine. And Charlotte Innes of the Los Angeles Times wrote, Torra \"Offers an intricate, sympathetic, sometimes outraged, always graceful commentary on the larger world.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Torra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 173672021X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781736720219\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pfp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 4.90w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Booklife Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/14\/2021","brand":"Joseph Torra","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046876475647,"sku":"9781736720219","price":14.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_29e47c25-9450-4fb4-b5c7-9998e2db140c.jpg?v=1684986996","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/who-do-you-think-you-joseph-torra-9781736720219","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
