Safekeeping: Some True Stories from a Life by Abigail Thomas

emotional funny hopeful reflective relaxing medium-paced

5.0

I just reread this and appreciated it all over again for its storytelling, and it’s building of story with brief, funny, thoughtful pieces. I mean, there’s some sadness, too, but Thomas has an unwavering spirit and pokes fun at herself, so a happy current runs through it all. As a writer, I love the creative freedom here: a story is only as long as it needs to be, may be written in first or third person, present or past tense, whatever it needs.
