These Precious Days: Essays
(eAudiobook)
Description
At the center of These Precious Days is the title essay, a surprising and moving meditation on an unexpected friendship that explores "what it means to be seen, to find someone with whom you can be your best and most complete self." When Patchett chose an early galley of actor and producer Tom Hanks' short story collection to listen to one night before bed, she had no idea that this single choice would be life-changing. It would introduce her to a remarkable woman, Tom's brilliant assistant Sooki, with whom she would form a profound bond that held monumental consequences for them both. A literary alchemist, Patchett plumbs the depths of her experiences to create gold: engaging and moving pieces that are both self-portrait and landscape, each vibrant with emotion and rich in insight. Turning her writer's eye on her own experiences, she transforms the private into the universal, providing us all a way to look at our own worlds anew, and remind us how fleeting and enigmatic life can be.
