Description

If you're a writer, a potter or painter; a senior on the verge of packing it in; an editor, an agent; a "self-absorbed" artist or entrepreneur (who bristles at "self-absorbed" yet knows we are); a young person who wants to understand your elders, especially if you're cringing with what's she doing now ... or if you're a reader who just plain likes an understated (happy) ending ... get "Alone and Gutsy, at 58." You'll be glad. From the author: "I'm excited to have written myself out of more than one stuck spot through "Alone and Gutsy, at 58," with a main character who risks, to spur herself forward. A few years ago, after I'd devoured "The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas" ~ once I stopped laughing ~ I decided if Stein could get away with such unabashed autobiographical fiction, I could mix it up too. I came to the character Tawanda Powers with ease. I couldn't seem to shake how easy it would be though, to start on a downhill slope, create some mysterious illness that would do me in. We don't ordinarily talk about letting ourselves slip towards death, yet I believe the possibility lies under the surface, like an entangling kelp bed ready to draw in those of us who step carelessly or unconsciously along the bluffs of middle age. My first book I wrote because I wasn't finding the lifeline I sought, for helping little ones. "Alone and Gutsy, at 58" became the writers' book I craved. I'm delighted with what others are making of "A & G" for themselves. One of my readers, a library director, pointed out levels of accessibility to the main character, drawing lines inward, as spokes on a wheel: accepting oneself, relating to adult children, assessing one's worklife, coming to terms with death by making a choice for life. If a woman doesn't relate to Tawanda Powers from one angle, she enthused, such as via a writing career, she's likely to connect through another ... especially at the hub where Tawanda "gives it up" for her ultimate transformation.
