Bibliocracy Episode 11: Molly Giles on Life Span
Novelist, short story writer, and acclaimed teacher Molly Giles. The author, most recently, of the novel The Home for Unwed Husbands, is out with a memoir in short episodes, vignettes, and meditations, built on her life crossing the Golden Gate Bridge. In Life Span, Giles defines, examines, celebrates, and interrogates her writing life by way of the iconic bridge, each chapter marking a year in her own life. A terrific conceit, this is a joyful, wry, honest autobiography of a person, place, and avocation, the insights of a writer on whom nothing is lost, so much is observed, described, assessed and engaged in economical and poetic language.
