Anne Lamott

In her new book, “Dusk, Night, Dawn: On Revival and Courage,” Anne Lamott explores the tough questions that many of us are grappling with. How can we recapture the confidence we once had as we stumble through the dark times that seem increasingly bleak? As bad news piles up—from climate crises to daily assaults on civility—how can we cope? Where, she asks, “do we start to get our world and joy and hope and our faith in life itself back . . . with our sore feet, hearing loss, stiff fingers, poor digestion, stunned minds, broken hearts?”

It's a bit hard to profile a writer as prolific as Anne Lamott. She's written so many books, fiction and non, for so many readers. Lamott is a progressive activist, a Christian, and a generous giver of her time to radio interviewers. So we get to spend most of an hour with her, talking about her latest work, on staying positive--or at least in motion--in dark times. It's called Dusk, Night, Dawn: On Revival and Courage.

What does it mean to forgive the unforgivable? How do we find a spark of hope when the darkness overwhelms?. These are the questions Anne Lamott explores in her new book, “Dusk, Night, Dawn.” With her trademark mix of honesty and humor, Lamott is the first to say these questions are impossible. But she also leads the reader to gentle moments of renewal and tells stories from her own life about how dawn often comes right when the darkness feels interminable.

Anne Lamott has authored some 19 books over the years. She explores the thorny issues of faith, motherhood, childhood, addiction and sobriety. In her latest book, "Dusk Night Dawn: On Revival and Courage," she posits some questions: How can we recapture the confidence we once had as we stumble through the dark times that seem increasingly bleak? How do we cope as bad news piles up? When do we get our sense of ourselves and our safety back? And how did we get so much older so fast?

In her new book, “Dusk, Night, Dawn: On Revival and Courage,” Anne Lamott explores the tough questions that many of us are grappling with. How can we recapture the confidence we once had as we stumble through the dark times that seem increasingly bleak? As bad news piles up—from climate crises to daily assaults on civility—how can we cope? Where, she asks, “do we start to get our world and joy and hope and our faith in life itself back . . . with our sore feet, hearing loss, stiff fingers, poor digestion, stunned minds, broken hearts?” We begin, Lamott says, by accepting our flaws and embracing our humanity. Drawing from her own experiences, Lamott shows us the intimate and human ways we can adopt to move through life’s dark places and toward the light of hope that still burns ahead for all of us. “Yes, these are times of great illness and distress,” she says. “Yet the center may just hold.”

Here we are in the winter of 2021: homebound, isolated, and anxiety-ridden. We’re beginning the second year of COVID-19 — not to mention a time of massive unemployment, political unrest, and a long-overdue racial reckoning — and many are eager for solace. Into this strange and unsettling climate Anne Lamott, the prolific, inspirational author from Marin County, Calif., delivers her latest book, “Dusk, Night, Dawn: On Revival and Courage” — in which she posits, genuinely: “Where on earth do we start to get our world and joy and hope and our faith in life itself back?”

“Dusk Night Dawn: On Revival and Courage” is Anne Lamott’s 19th book, her 12th faith-based essay collection and a strong contender for her 16th bestseller.

A devoted grandmother and recovering drug addict, Jesus-loving Sunday school teacher and Guggenheim fellow, 12-stepping TED talker and small-town writer whose book sales top 4 million, Lamott is that rare bird, a progressive stalwart beloved in coastal cities and flyover hamlets alike.
